Choosing prediction over explanation in psychology: Lessons from machine learning (2017, background): “Indeed, a similar trend is already evident in some domains; for example, the development of large psycholinguistic databases such as the English Lexicon Project (Balota et al., 2007) has provided researchers with a powerful and widely used benchmark for evaluating new measures and models (e.”

Lexical Sophistication as a Multidimensional Phenomenon: Relations to Second Language Lexical Proficiency, Development, and Writing Quality (2018, neutral): “, 2016), words that are contextually less diverse (McDonald & Shillcock, 2001), words with fewer phonological and orthographical neighbors (Balota et al., 2007), words that are more specific (Fellbaum, 1998), words that elicit slower response times in lexical decision tasks (Balota et al.”
CLEARPOND: Cross-Linguistic Easy-Access Resource for Phonological and Orthographic Neighborhood Densities (2012, background): “While neighborhood information for some languages has been made available in the past [13,15,20,21], the database that we present here provides comparable corpora and analyses across languages.”
Behavioural and physiological responses to the emotional and taboo Stroop tasks in native and non-native speakers of English (2011, methodology): “The words selected also did not differ in Kucera and Francis frequency, HAL log frequency, mean lexical decision time and mean naming time based on the database in the English Lexicon Project (Balota et al., 2007).”
