Abstract
W. Ruml and A. Caramazza's (2000) analysis of the model of normal and aphas ic lexical access proposed by G. S. Dell, M. F. Schwartz, N. Martin, E. M. Saffran, and D. A. Gagnon (1997) is completely at odds with current practic e concerning the use of models in psychology. An evaluation of Dell et al.' s original claims using Ruml and Caramazza's model parameters sustains thes e claims in all respects.
