Introduction Seeing a word influences the recognition of a subsequent word if: The word is semantically related (nurse-doctor) The word is morphologically related (sing-singing) The word is orthographically related (burn-burps)

Introduction Seeing a word influences the recognition of a subsequent word if: The word is semantically related (nurse-doctor) The word is morphologically related (sing-singing) The word is orthographically related (burn-burps) The influence can either speed or slow recognition

Research Question Is the syllable used in word processing? If so it should influence word recognition

Hypothesis Seeing a word with the same syllable structure will influence the speed at which a subsequent word is recognized. Seeing a word with a different syllable structure will not influence the reaction time.

Method Lexical Decision Task Subjects see real words and nonce words on the screen. They press one key if the word is real and another if it is not real

Method Lexical Decision Task Subjects see real words and nonce words on the screen. They press one key if the word is real and another if it is not real Time to recognize word is measured

Method Lexical Decision Task Subjects see real words and nonce words on the screen. They press one key if the word is real and another if it is not real Time to recognize word is measured The word that is similar or not is presented first-The prime The word that appears after, whose RT is measured, is the target

Materials Prime Target Relationship nor.ma nor.te orthographic, syllabic no.ria nor.te orthographic, not syllabic sa.via nor.te not orthographic, not syllabic man.do nor.te not orthographic, syllabic

Results If orthographic overlap causes slowed RTs to target then Nor.ma should prime nor.te as much as no.ria primes nor.te Prime Target Relationship RT in ms nor.ma nor.te orthographic, syllabic 930 no.ria nor.te orthographic, not syllabic 887 930 is statistically larger than 887 so priming is different

Results If syllabic overlap causes slowed RTs to target then Man.do should prime nor.te but sa.via should not prime nor.te Prime Target Relationship RT in ms sa.via nor.te not orthographic, not syllabic 872 man.do nor.te not orthographic, syllabic 871 872 and 871 are not statistically different so there is no difference in priming

Results If syllabic overlap only causes slowed RTs to target when there is orthographic overlap too then Nor.ma should prime nor.te but no.ria shouldn't prime nor.te Prime Target Relationship RT in ms nor.ma nor.te orthographic, syllabic 930 no.ria nor.te orthographic, not syllabic 887 930 and 887 are statistically different so there is a difference in priming

Conclusions Words with the same syllable structure do not exhibit a priming relationship Syllable structure alone isn't relevant to processing Words with the same syllable structure that also overlap orthographically do exhibit a priming relationship Syllable structure is relevant to processing when coupled with orthographic similarity
