Meta-review of studies that have reported effects of lexical frequency. Epochs in the Latency column with a * are those where frequency effects were found in the present study. In the Location column, topographic regions are given indicating where effects have been found for each latency; channels given in brackets underneath are those covering the relevant areas in the present study. MiCe: Middle Central, MiPf: Middle Prefrontal, MiPa: Middle Parietal, LmPa: Left Middle Parietal, RmPa: Right Middle Parietal, MiOc: Middle Occipital.
