Abstract | Classic accounts of lexical organization posit that humans are sensitive to environmental frequency, suggesting a mechanism for word learning based on repetition. However, a recent spate of evidence has revealed that it is not simply frequency but the diversity and distinctiveness of contexts in which a word occurs that drives lexical organization. This chapter provides an in-depth evaluation of new research on contextual diversity, integrating evidence from word recognition, semantic memory, episodic memory, and information retrieval. The aggregate evidence suggests an expectancy-congruency learning mechanism that updates lexical representations based on the fit between the current contents of memory and the information in the local environmental context. This learning mechanism produces a well-structured lexicon that is adapted to the demands of lexical retrieval and processing.
