ABSTRACT
Words or sound segments are used as stimuli in many RT tasks to study lexical or phonological processing. These tasks are collectively called lexical and phonological tasks and are the focus of this chapter. They include five lexical tasks and paradigms and seven phonological tasks. The description of each task in this and following chapters includes three parts: an overview of the task, including its variations, methodological considerations in its use, and its applications in SLS. Note that an experimental task is seldom monolithic. Research questions vary, so do your methodological considerations when you adopt a task. The methodological consideration section for each task in this and following chapters is not intended to provide all information one needs in designing a study. Rather, it highlights what one needs to consider minimally.
