This site presents data and scripts used in Hsieh et al. (2024) (https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-20164-001). Using a megastudy of Chinese word recognition (Tse et al., 2017), this study examined how the lexical decision of existing and novel Chinese compounds was influenced by two properties of individual characters: family size (the number of distinct words which embed a character) and family semantic consistency (the average semantic relatedness between a character and all words containing it).
