The Auditory English Lexicon Project
12 October 2021 (Tuesday), 4pm
Abstract:
The Auditory English Lexicon Project (AELP) is a multi-talker, multi-region psycholinguistic database of over 10,000 spoken words and accompanying nonwords. This resource is freely available from a website (https://inetapps.nus.edu.sg/aelp/) hosted by NUS Psychology. In the first part of the talk, I discuss the considerations that went into the database creation, and demonstrate some functionalities of the website. In the second part of the talk, I present some preliminary analyses of the AELP data on the effects of over 15 structural and lexico-semantic properties on two psycholinguistic tasks – auditory lexical decision and spoken word identification.
