Join Lexical Norms to Your Word List
Your word list should ideally be nested in Tidy format (one word per row, within one column of a dataframe). Your word vector should NOT be a factor but a chr. Set up your word list like this. You can split/unlist a language sample to get it in this format also.

#neuroskyence people (maybe vision people in particular): how do you think information is "read out" from the visual system? Do downstream areas like PFC get to query anything from V1 to IT? Or just later areas? How plastic are these readouts? Etc. IMO this is always under constrained in modeling.
