Summary:

SPALEX contains data from a Spanish crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy. It adds to the increasing literature on lexical decision megastudies by focusing on native Spanish speakers at a global scale and with a vast amount of words, to provide a useful tool for researchers exploring the acquisition and processing of this language in native and foreign contexts.
