App<strong>en</strong>dice I 237Figure 8a gives the mean overall lexical (orthographic) activity over time, which according to MROM isthe critical information dim<strong>en</strong>sion determining No-responses (Grainger & Jacobs, 1996), g<strong>en</strong>erated by the 30base words, 30 pseudohomophones, and 30 control pseudowords of the Coltheart et al. study which are containedin our lexicon (18 of the stimuli had to be excluded because their base word was bi-syllabic or abs<strong>en</strong>tin our model lexicon). In MROM, both pseudohomophones and control pseudowords g<strong>en</strong>erate the same activity,which yields id<strong>en</strong>tical mean No-RTs. In contrast, in MROM-P, overall lexical activity nicely reflectsthe differ<strong>en</strong>ces betwe<strong>en</strong> pseudohomophones and controls. Since pseudohomophones g<strong>en</strong>erate more activitythan controls, No-responses to them will take longer to reject. This is shown in the bar charts of Figure 8bthat capture the pattern of results obtained by Coltheart and collaborators.ACTIVATION0.80.70.60.50.40.30.20.10- 0.1MROMf eel (Base Wor d)f eal (Pseudohomophone)f eep (Or thogr aphic Contr ol)0 5 10 15 20 25CYCLESACTIVATION0.80.70.60.50.40.30.20.10- 0.1MROM-P0 5 10 15 20 25CYCLESFigure 7 : Activation functions for the most activated word unit (local activity) with the MROM and the MROM-P for a pseudohomophone (feal), an orthographic control (feep) and their base word (feel).PseudohomophonesOr thogr aphi c Contr ol sBase Wor ds1M R OM1M R OM - P0. 80. 80. 50. 50. 20. 200 10 20 30 4000 10 20 30 408 aCy cl esCy cl es650Col thear t et al .
