Vaan, Laura de, Kobie van Krieken, Winie van den Bosch, Robert Schreuder and Mirjam Ernestus 2017 The traces that novel morphologically complex words leave in memory are abstract in natureThe Mental Lexicon 12:2, pp. 181–218 | Article
Previous work has shown that novel morphologically complex words (henceforth neologisms) leave traces in memory after just one encounter. This study addressed the question whether these traces are abstract in nature or exemplars. In three experiments, neologisms were either primed by themselves… read more
Vaan, Laura de, Mirjam Ernestus and Robert Schreuder 2011 The lifespan of lexical traces for novel morphologically complex wordsThe Mental Lexicon 6:3, pp. 374–392 | Article
This study investigates the lifespans of lexical traces for novel morphologically complex words. In two visual lexical decision experiments, a neologism was either primed by itself or by its stem. The target occurred 40 trials after the prime (Experiments 1 & 2), after a 12 hour delay (Experiment… read more
Vaan, Laura de, Robert Schreuder and Harald Baayen 2007 Regular morphologically complex neologisms leave detectable traces in the mental lexiconThe Mental Lexicon 2:1, pp. 1–23 | Article
This study investigates whether regular morphological complex neologisms leave detectable traces in the mental lexicon. Experiment 1 (subjective frequency estimation) was a validation study for our materials. It revealed that semantic ambiguity led to a greater reduction of the ratings for… read more
