Abstract

Early acquired words are processed faster than later acquired words in lexical and semantictasks. Demonstrating such age of acquisition (AoA) effects beyond reasonable doubt, andthen investigating those effects empirically, is complicated by the natural correlationbetween AoA and other word properti...
