List context effects on masked phonological priming in the lexical decision task

Does conal prime CANAL more than cinal? Masked phonological priming effects in Spanish with the lexical decision task.

Evidence for an early involvement of phonology in word identification usually relies on the comparison between a target word preceded by a homophonic prime and an orthographic control (rait-RATE vs. raut-RATE). This comparison rests on the assumption that the two control primes are equally orthographically similar to the target. Here, we tested for phonological effects with a masked priming par...

Effects of phonological similarity on priming in auditory lexical decision.

T$o auditory lexical decieion experiments were conducted to determine whether facilitation can be obtained when a prime and a target share word-initial phonological informatiol.

Phonological priming in the lexical decision task: regularity effects are not necessary evidence for assembly.

The contribution of assembled phonology in reading English was examined in the lexical decision task by comparing two markers: regularity effects and phonological priming. Strategic control was assessed by manipulating the phonological lexicality of the foils: Experiment 1 used legal nonwords, whereas Experiment 2 used pseudohomophones. Replicating existing findings, null regularity effects wer...

Masked priming effects with syllabic neighbors in a lexical decision task.

Four lexical decision experiments using a masked priming paradigm were conducted to analyze whether the previous presentation of a syllabic neighbor (a word sharing the same 1st syllable) influences recognition performance. The results showed an inhibitory effect of more frequent syllabic primes and some facilitation of nonword syllabic primes (Experiments 1-3). When monosyllabic pairs were use...
