• More use almost always a means a smaller frequency effect: Aging, bilingualism, and the weaker links hypothesis. (2008, methodology): “For completeness we report the frequencies of the Spanish names (see Table 3) which we obtained from the LEXESP database (Sebastián-Gallés, Martí, Cuetos, & Carreiras, 2000) using Buscapalabras (Davis & Perea, 2005); these were highly correlated with the English frequencies (r = .80, p < .01).”
• The effects of inter-letter spacing in visual-word recognition: Evidence with young normal readers and developmental dyslexics (2012, methodology): “We selected a set of 108 Spanish words from the B-Pal database (Davis & Perea, 2005).”
• CLEARPOND: Cross-Linguistic Easy-Access Resource for Phonological and Orthographic Neighborhood Densities (2012, background): “Spanish eSpeak comparison with the Busca Palabras database [8]: N = 10,978, R = 0.”
• Memory for emotional words in bilinguals: Do words have the same emotional intensity in the first and in the second language? (2010, methodology): “The data for Spanish words were obtained from B-Pal (Davis & Perea, 2005) and from LEXESP (SebastiánGallés, Martı́, Carreiras, & Cuetos, 2000).”
• What causes the bilingual disadvantage in verbal fluency?: The dual-task analogy (2010, result): “Because comparisons across different frequency corpora are not valid, we do not compare word frequency of responses produced in English and Spanish;2 2 An exploratory analysis comparing per million frequency of English responses obtained from CELEX (Baayen et al., 1995) to Spanish responses obtained”
• Morphosyntactic processing in advanced second language (L2) learners: An event-related potential investigation of the effects of L1–L2 similarity and structural distance (2014, methodology): “We used the LEXESP database to compute the mean log frequency of the nouns and adjectives where agreement was tested (via BuscaPalabras; Davis and Perea, 2005).”
