ROC Modelling Data of the Word Frequency Effect: A Formal Model of Visual Word Recognition
Manuel Pelegrina del Río, Agustín Wallace Ruiz, Maria Concepcion Moreno Fernandez and Alvaro Pelegrina Fernández
Abstract
This article presents a formal statistical model for assessing the word frequency effect in recognition memory. This topic is relevant because word frequency is the best predictor of performance in recognition memory tasks. Signal Detection Theory was applied using high-frequency and low-frequency words as item-signals. Signal Detection Theory
