primingHeid: Primed lexical decision latencies for neologisms ending in -heid

Description

Primed lexical decision latencies for Dutch neologisms ending in the suffix -heid.

Usage

data(primingHeid)

Format

A data frame with 832 observations on the following 13 variables.

Subject

a factor with subjects as levels.

Word

RT

a numeric vector with log-transformed lexical decision latencies.

Condition

a factor coding the priming treatmen, with levels baseheid (prime is the base word) and heid (the prime is the neologism)

Rating
