Dear all,
I have conducted an experimental study in which participants reacted to certain words to classify them as existent or non-existent words in English by pressing the prespecified buttons on the keyboard. Basically, it is a lexical decision task.
I aim to see how the response times are affected by the participants' proficiency level and word frequency. There are a couple of independent variables specific to my study as well.
To this end, I have decided to use Mixed Effects Modelling as it has been suggested in psycholinguistic research and seems to have certain advantages over other analysis methods.
What I would like to ask is complicated as I have difficulty in interpreting Mixed Effects Modelling results. Could someone tell me what exactly in MEM analysis I need to "look at" to interpret the results (AIC, BIC, R-squared conditional, Random Effect LRT)? I used Participants and Words as random coefficients in the software, but I cannot quite express why I would do such a thing in my paper? I mean what advantages such process might have over other analysis methods such as regression?
Thanks

Re: Mixed Effects Modelling - Psycholinguistics Research
You can use the GAMLj module to estimate the models you need. There you find also the AIC, BIC, R^2 and LRT you were referring to
