Summary
parameters applied in this investigation z-ROC and ROC in recognition memory of words, sorted by frequency and class. This allows the use of unbiased techniques in the evaluation of hits and false alarms and standardized distributions obtained for each experimental condition. The results confirm differences in recognition memory due to experimental exposure time, the type of speech and other pre-experimental effects. These data are consistent with models of familiarity and recollection when we use the frequency of use of words and models of familiarity, recollection and dual-route when we use words organized by class. Finally, it argues for a model of interactive processing (words arranged by frequency) versus a processing model closer to the modularity (words organized by class).
Keywords: word frequency, word class, parameters and z-ROC ROC. Abstract


ROC and z-ROC parameters in word memory: experimental and pre-experimental effects. In this study, ROC and z-ROC parameters are applied in word recognition memory, with words classified according to frequency and class. In doing so, unbiased techniques can be used to assess hits and false alarms and to obtain standardized distributions for each experimental condition. Our results confirm the existence of differences in word recognition memory for experimental exposition time, type of words and other pre-experimental effects. These data are consistent with familiarity and recollection models when words’ frequency of use is utilized, and with familiarity, recollection and dual-route models when words are organized according to class. Finally, we argue in favour of an interactive processing model (Organized According To frequency words) versus processing model near to modularity (words Organized According To class).
Key words: word frequency, word class, ROC and z-ROC parameters.
