Word age-of-acquisition (AoA) affects reading. The mapping hypothesis predicts AoA effects
when input–output mappings are arbitrary. In Spanish, the orthography-to-phonology …

One account for age-of-acquisition (AoA) effects in word naming is the arbitrary mapping
hypothesis proposed by Ellis and Lambon Ralph (2000), who argue that these should be …

We report a study of the factors that affect reading in Spanish, a language with a transparent
orthography. Our focus was on the influence of lexical semantic knowledge in phonological …

Despite the similar transparency of their orthographies, reading in Italian has been found to
be affected by frequency but not age of acquisition (AoA)[Barca, L., Burani, C., & Arduino, LS …

The combined contributions of word age of acquisition (AoA) and word frequency (rated and
objective) to word retrieval speed and accuracy were investigated, using a picture-naming …

Age of acquisition (AoA) ratings were obtained and were used in hierarchical regression
analyses to predict naming and lexical-decision performance for 2,342 words (from Balota …

Recent studies have suggested that age of acquisition (AoA) has an impact on skilled
reading independent of factors such as frequency. This result raises questions about …

The age of acquisition effect (faster recognition and production of earlierlearnt than later
learnt words) is a robustfinding in both picture naming and written wordrecognition and …

The effect of Age of Acquisition (AoA) on visual word recognition is remarkable. However,
there is debate about the loci of AoA effects. The Arbitrary Mapping hypothesis assumes …

In the present study, we analyse data from the English Lexicon Project to assess the extent
to which age of acquisition (AoA) effects on word processing stem from the number of …
