Note. Log Freq = log-transformed frequency. Orth N = orthographic neighborhood density. Phon N = phonological neighborhood density. All variables have been retrieved form the English Lexicon Project Database (Balota et al., 2007), where frequency values are taken from the Hyperspace Analogue to Language (HAL) frequency norms (Lund & Burgess, 1996).
