MEGALEX
Abstract
MEGALEX (Ferrand, Méot, Spinelli, New, Pallier, Bonin, Dufau, Mathôt, & Grainger, 2018) involved the collection of visual and auditory lexical decision times and accuracy rates for tens of thousands of words. We collected visual lexical decision data for 28,466 French words and the same number of pseudowords, and auditory lexical decision data for 17,876 French words and the same number of pseudowords. All data are freely available below and are searchable on https://chrplr.github.io/openlexicon/ inside the OpenLexicon search engine.
