Differential Effects of Phonological Priming on Chinese Character Recognition

Finds phonological priming effects on compound targets (characters containing separate radical components); no evidence of phonological priming on integrated targets (those not containing separate radicals); semantic priming effects on both compound and integrated target recognition, suggesting that...

Description
Summary:Finds phonological priming effects on compound targets (characters containing separate radical components); no evidence of phonological priming on integrated targets (those not containing separate radicals); semantic priming effects on both compound and integrated target recognition, suggesting that phonological and semantic activation are coincidental during compound character recognition. Concludes that character type constrains the activation of phonology during Chinese character recognition. (SR)
