Yang, Huilan; Reid, J. Nick; Kong, Peipei; Chen, Jingjun – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
The "recycling hypothesis" posits that the word recognition system is built upon minimal modifications to the neural architecture used in object recognition. In two masked priming lexical decision studies, we examined whether "mirror generalization," a phenomenon in object recognition, occurs in word recognition. In Study 1, we…

Arab, Sepideh; Bijankhan, Mahmood; Eshghi, Marziye – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
In this study, we compared children's and adults' ability to accurately identify target words in written minimal pairs (WMPs) with graphemically similar letters while accounting for factors such as gender, similarity of the middle letter in WMPs, mono- versus dimorphemic WMPs, number of syllable, homography, and imageability. Fifty children and…

González-Valenzuela, Maria-José; López-Montiel, Dolores; Chebaani, Fatma; Cobos-Cali, Marta; Piedra-Martínez, Elisa; Martin-Ruiz, Isaías – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study analyzes the impact of certain cognitive processes on word and pseudoword reading in languages with different orthographic consistency (Spanish and Arabic) in the first year of Primary Education. The study was conducted with a group of 113 pupils from Algeria and another group of 128 pupils from Ecuador, from a middle-class background…

Zhang, Haomin – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The current study aimed to explore the effect of first language (L1) orthography on second language (L2) Chinese morphological awareness. One hundred and twenty-nine students (61 L1 English readers and 68 L1 Thai readers) who studied Chinese as a second language participated in this study. They completed four tasks of morphological awareness…

Kwon, Youan; Lee, Changhwan; Tae, Jini; Lee, Yoonhyoung – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of phonological information on visual word recognition by using letter transposition effects. The Korean writing system gives a unique opportunity to investigate such phenomenon since the transposition of the beginning consonant (onset) and the end consonant (coda) of a certain syllable allows one…

Tenjovic, Lazar; Lalovic, Dejan – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2005
The relatedness of phonological coding to the articulatory mechanisms in visual word recognition vary in different writing systems. While articulatory suppression (i.e., continuous verbalising during a visual word processing task) has a detrimental effect on the processing of Japanese words printed in regular syllabic Khana script, it has no such…
