Measurement EMs = best on-line measure of visual word recognition in the context of normal reading ERPs = best real-time measure of brain activity associated with the perceptual and cognitive processing of words

(Sereno & Rayner, Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2003)

Word frequency & lexical access The sore on Tam-Tam’s was swollen. (HF) back (LF) rump Word frequency effect (HF < LF) Differential response to more common, high-frequency (HF) words vs. less common, low-frequency (LF) words. E.g., Used as index of successful lexical access (word recognition). Best estimate of lexical access: ms (N1).
