Abstract
Megastudies of visual word recognition—assessing large numbers of items averaged over individuals—are increasingly being used to test hypotheses and models. They are useful because they offer a more precise and powerful window onto the relevant cognitive processes than do item-selection
designs. However, they are not without limitations, of which some relate to individual differences: Models are not asked to produce the full range of effect sizes produced by participants, and averaged curves do not always reproduce the curves in individual participant data. Models may therefore be asked to produce an (artifactual) functional form that is exhibited by no participant. Here, we present sufficient word naming data on 4 participants who may each be treated as a separate experiment. These data provide
(1) evidence for individual differences, which suggests that some effects are not universal, and (2) more stringent R2
targets for models to meet.
