Masked Syllable Priming of English Nouns

Masked inhibitory priming in english: evidence for lexical inhibition.

Predictions derived from the interactive activation (IA) model were tested in 3 experiments using the masked priming technique in the lexical decision task. Experiment 1 showed a strong effect of prime lexicality: Classifications of target words were facilitated by orthographically related nonword primes (relative to unrelated nonword primes) but were inhibited by orthographically related word ...

Translation priming with different scripts: masked priming with cognates and noncognates in Hebrew-English bilinguals.

Hebrew-English cognates (translations similar in meaning and form) and noncognates (translations similar in meaning only) were examined in masked translation priming. Enhanced priming for cognates was found with L1 (dominant language) primes, but unlike previous results, it was not found with L2 (nondominant language) primes. Priming was also obtained for noncognates, whereas previous studies s...

Effect of Syllable Congruency in Sixth Graders in the Lexical Decision Task With Masked Priming

Grammatical priming of inflected nouns.

In normal linguistic usage, the inflected nouns of SerboCroatian are usually preceded by prepositions that help to specify which particular grammatical case is intended and to stress the noun's function in the sentence. In a lexical decision task it was demonstrated that lexical decision times to nouns in a grammatical case that demands a preposition were faster when the preposition was appropr...

Masked Syllable Priming Effects in Word and Picture Naming in Chinese

Four experiments investigated the role of the syllable in Chinese spoken word production. Chen, Chen and Ferrand (2003) reported a syllable priming effect when primes and targets shared the first syllable using a masked priming paradigm in Chinese. Our Experiment 1 was a direct replication of Chen et al.'s (2003) Experiment 3 employing CV (e.g., ,/ba2.ying2/, strike camp) and CVG (e.g., ,/bai2....
