dc.description.abstractIn this study, the effect of typicality on lexical access and semantic feature processing was examined by comparing performance on naming and category verification tasks between feature-based (bird, vegetable) and perceptually-based (color) categories. Results demonstrated faster processing of typical exemplars than atypical exemplars across tasks and category types. Naming latencies were similar between feature-based and perceptually-based categories, however verification times were faster for colors than for bird and vegetable stimuli. This is consistent with the theory that color judgments are made through a separate cognitive route that bypasses the semantic system. Results are discussed in relation to models of typicality and lexical processingen_US
