“…Thus, it is possible that priming effects are somewhat different than the types of effects that Pexman and colleagues (Pexman & Lupker, 1999;Pexman et al, 2001) were investigating (e.g., homophone effects and polysemy effects). Consistent with this idea, in a recent study, Drieghe and Brysbaert (2002) also found that masked semantic/ associative priming effects did not increase in size with pseudohomophones versus standard nonwords. In contrast, Joordens and Becker (1997) did report larger semantic priming effects with pseudohomophonesthan with standard nonwords in their Experiment 2, although not in their Experiment 1.…”

Does jugde activate COURT? Transposed-letter similarity effects in masked associative priming

Transposed-letter (TL) nonwords (e.g., jugde) can be easily misperceived as words, a fact that is somewhat inconsistent with the letter-position-coding schemes employed by most current models of visual word recognition. To examine this issue further, we conducted four masked semantic/associative priming experiments, using a lexical decision task. In Experiment 1, the related primes could be words, TL-internal nonwords, or replacement-letter (RL) nonwords (e.g., judge, jugde, or judpe, respectively; the target would be COURT). Relative to an unrelated condition, masked TL-internal primes produced a significant semantic/associative priming effect, an effect that was only slightly smaller than the priming effect for word primes. No effect, however, was observed for RL-nonword primes. In Experiment 2, the TL-nonword primes were created by switching the two final letters of the primes (e.g., judeg). The results again showed a semantic/associative priming effect for word primes, but not for TL-final nonword primes or for RL-nonword primes. Experiment 3 replicatedthe associative/semantic priming effect for TL-internal nonword primes, with, again, no effect for TL-final nonword primes. Finally, Experiment 4 again failed to yield a priming effect for TL-final nonword primes. The implications of these results for the choice of a letter-position-coding scheme in visual word recognition models are discussed.

“…For instance, Lukatela and Turvey (1994) reported that the naming latency for the target word "frog" was 20 ms faster when it was primed by "TOAD" than when it was primed by "TOLLED". Drieghe and Brysbaert (2002) repeated this finding and extended it to a lexical decision task (i.e., participants had to decide whether the target stimulus was a word or not). Alameda, Cuetos, and Brysbaert (2003) further showed that associative priming is not limited to words, but can also be observed with numbers as targets (e.g.…”

It has been suggested that acronyms like BBC are processed like real words. This claim has been based on improved performance with acronyms in the Reicher-Wheeler task, the letter string matching task, the visual feature integration task, and the N400 component in event-related potential (ERP) studies. Unfortunately, in all these tasks performance on acronyms resembled performance on pseudowords more than performance on words. To further assess the similarity of acronyms and words, we focused on the meaning of the acronyms and used masked priming to examine whether target words can be primed to the same extent with associatively related acronyms as with associatively related words. Such priming was possible at a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) of 84ms. In addition, the priming of the acronyms did not depend on the letter case in which they were presented: The target word books was primed as much by isbn and iSbN as by ISBN

“…On the other hand, this attentional and task-dependent account has been questioned by findings from a number of psycholinguistic studies that reported phonological and semantic effects in visual word recognition even when these representations were totally irrelevant to the task or not directly accessible (Rodd, 2004;Tanenhaus et al, 1980;Ziegler and Jacobs, 1995), thus supporting the claim of an automatic and possibly mandatory access to phonology and meaning during reading (Frost, 1998). Similarly, masked priming studies showed that shared phonological and semantic representations between a prime and a target affect recognition of the target even in the absence of prime awareness, which makes the strategic activation of these representations unlikely (Brysbaert, 2001;Brysbaert et al, 1999;Deacon et al, 2000;Drieghe and Brysbaert, 2002;Ferrand and Grainger, 1994;Kiefer and Spitzer, 2000;Lukatela and Turvey, 1994;Ortells et al, 2016;Wheat et al, 2010).…”

A B S T R A C TReading involves activation of phonological and semantic knowledge. Yet, the automaticity of the activation of these representations remains subject to debate. The present study addressed this issue by examining how different brain areas involved in language processing responded to a manipulation of bottom-up (level of visibility) and top-down information (task demands) applied to written words. The analyses showed that the same brain areas were activated in response to written words whether the task was symbol detection, rime detection, or semantic judgment. This network included posterior, temporal and prefrontal regions, which clearly suggests the involvement of orthographic, semantic and phonological/articulatory processing in all tasks. However, we also found interactions between task and stimulus visibility, which reflected the fact that the strength of the neural responses to written words in several high-level language areas varied across tasks. Together, our findings suggest that the involvement of phonological and semantic processing in reading is supported by two complementary mechanisms. First, an automatic mechanism that results from a taskindependent spread of activation throughout a network in which orthography is linked to phonology and semantics. Second, a mechanism that further fine-tunes the sensitivity of high-level language areas to the sensory input in a task-dependent manner.
