Peer reviewedBecker, Curtis A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979
Schuberth and Eimas (EJ 159 939) reported that context and frequency effects added to determine reaction times in a lexical decision (word v nonword) task. The present reexamination shows that context and frequency do interact, with semantic context facilitating the processing of low-frequency words more than high-frequency words. (Author/CP)
