Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Balota et al. (2004) found that words from a dense orthographic neighbourhood (i.e., words that have many similar spelling neighbors) are recognized and named faster. This is because the presence of many similar words likely facilitates the activation of the target word's representation in the mental lexicon, leading to faster reaction times on tasks like naming and lexical decision.
