Abstract

This study simulates a lexical decision task in Korean by using a feed forward neural network model with a back propagation learning rule. Reaction time is substituted by a entropy value called 'semantic stress'. The model demonstrates frequency effect, lexical status effect and non-word legality effect, suggesting that lexical decision is made within a structure of orthographic and semantic features. The test implies that the orthographic and semantic features can be automatically applied to lexical information process.
