Order of acquisition in learning perceptual categories: A laboratory analogue of the age-of-acquisition effect?
|
In the age-of-acquisition (AoA) effect, an advantage for recognition and production is found for items learned early in life, as compared with items learned later. In this laboratory analogue, participants learned to categorize novel random checkerboard stimuli. Some stimuli were presented from the onset of training; others were introduced later. At test, when early and late stimuli had equal cumulative frequency, early stimuli were classified significantly more quickly. Because stimuli were ...

Age of acquisition effects in the semantic processing of pictures
Memory & Cognition
; In two experiments, we investigated the role of age of acquisition (AoA) in the categorizing of objects in semantic tasks that do not require access to the object names. In both a found inside or outside the house (Experiment 1A) and a smaller or larger than a loaf of bread (Experiment 2A)

Fractal analysis of the surface cracks on continuously cast steel slabs
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions
; Data concerning the length of longitudinal cracks on the surface of continuously cast steel slabs were collected from two plants. The data were analyzed to find the relation between crack length and crack frequency. The analysis revealed the following. (1) After normalization to eliminate the

Age of acquisition effects on an object-name verification task.
British Journal of Psychology
; Conventionally, object naming is separated into three distinct levels: a perceptual level, a semantic level and a lexical level. There are a number of variables that affect the speed at which a picture of an object progresses through these stages of processing. At the level of perceptual

Real age of acquisition effects in word naming and lexical decision.
British Journal of Psychology
; Catriona M. Morrison Age of acquisition (AoA) has been reported to be a predictor of the speed of reading words aloud (word naming) and lexical decision, with early-acquired words being responded to faster than later-acquired words in both tasks. All previous studies of AoA effects have, however,
