This paper attempts to systemize the knowledge about some effects obtained with the lexical decision task and to provide a critical analysis of some applications of this method in the domain of social cognition. The sources of this procedure residing in cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics research on word recognition and lexical access are emphasized. The possible variations of the lexical decision procedure (as part of the semantic priming paradigm and as a separate procedure) are presented, together with an analysis of its adaptations in research on the accessibility of stereotypes and multiple categories. Results obtained with this procedure indicating a conditional automaticity of stereotype activation processes are presented. Finally, possible limitations of the method are drawn and areas of research on stereotyping that demand the use of methods that go beyond the study of associations between concepts are indicated.

This article aims to present an empirical investigation of six- to seven-year-old children’s free word associations in Slovak. The empirical data analysed in this article were collected via lexical decision task, a method used within the qualitative research design. The data analysis indicates the syntagmatic-paradigmatic shift in children’s word associations to stimulus nouns. In syntagmatic response to stimulus noun, the children produce either free verbal sequences or defining characteristics of a stimulus word (activity characteristics and descriptive attributes). In paradigmatic response to stimulus noun, the children produce semantically diverse associations, mostly in the following semantic categories: location or local proximity, inclusive parts, more distant meaning, word-formation paradigm, and coordinates. Despite the research limitations, the present results are consistent with the previous research findings in the field of children’s word associations in both Slovak and other languages.
