Morphological Structure in Visual Word Recognition: Evidence from Prefixed and Suffixed Words.

Beauvillain, C.

Language and Cognitive Processes, v9 n3 p317-39 Aug 1994

Two experiments with French university students investigated whether the visual recognition of short prefixed and suffixed words was affected by their morphological structure. Results indicated that encoding times were sensitive to the lexical status of the unit, with a significant benefit occurring only when the subword unit corresponded to the stem.
