Dataset from a project studying word learning trajectories and modality effects in fourth- and fifth-grade children
Abstract

The data were collected as part of a study examining the impact of modality of exposure (oral or written) on word learning.

An oral recognition task 2. A written lexical decision task 3. A orthographic judgment task 4. A semantic priming task 5.
