在3个词汇判断实验中，邻域密度对视觉单词再认的影响对单词有促进作用，对非单词有抑制作用。然而，尽管存在很强的频率效应，但当任务改为语义分类(动物与非动物)时，促进作用实际上消失了。这些实验都没有显示出高频邻居一致的抑制效应。抑制效应的缺乏表明竞争在视觉单词识别中不起关键作用。数据还表明，邻里密度效应不是通达效应，而是任务依赖效应。
The effect of neighborhood density on visual word recognition was found to be facilitatory for words but inhibitory for nonwords in 3 lexical-decision experiments. However, the facilitation virtually disappeared when the task was changed to semantic categorization (animal vs. nonanimal), despite the presence of a strong frequency effect. None of these experiments showed a consistent inhibitory effect of a higher frequency neighbor. The absence of inhibitory effects suggests that competition does not play a key role in visual word recognition. The data also suggest that the neighborhood density effect is not an access effect but is a task-dependent effect instead.
