Abstract: Mouse-tracking studies demonstrate that hand movements reveal the progression of responses over time duringpsychological tasks. In the present study, we examined the time course of cognitive processing during an auditory lexicaldecision task. The following predicted results emerged to indicate facilitation for words relative to nonwords: 1) shorterreaction times; 2) fewer direction changes, and, compared to the ideal trajectory; 3) smaller deviation; and, 4) area underthe curve for words relative to nonwords. We also found predicted differences between words and nonwords in velocitythroughout the trials, providing a greater understanding of the real-time processing dynamics throughout the course ofspoken word recognition.
