Massive Auditory Lexical Decision (MALD) Database
The Massive Auditory Lexical Decision (MALD) database is an end-to-end, freely available auditory and production data set for speech and psycholinguistic research, providing time-aligned stimulus recordings for over 26,000 words and 9,500 pseudowords, and response data for auditory lexical decisions. The data set is meant to make it easy to explore, build and test theories, and compare a wide range of models.

Nenadić, Filip, Tucker, Benjamin V.
We present a series of computational simulations of the auditory lexical decision task using the jTRACE and TISK models of spoken word recognition. Simulation 1 replicates high accuracy in word recognition and similar performance of these models using the small, default dictionary. Simulation 2...

MALD 1.1
2021-05-07
This is an updated version of the MALD dataset. This new dataset almost doubles the total number of participants in the dataset, providing more responses per item. We have also updated the item data set to include a calculation of the phonotactic probability of all words and pseudowords and the...
