Morphological priming without morphological relationship

摘要: Semantic transparency is a crucial factor in the processing of morphologically complex words, but seems to have different impact depending on experimental conditions and languages. In English, semantic necessary produce morphological priming cross-modal priming, not as clearly so masked priming. The available reports effects for opaque prime-target pairs are clear-cut rule out an explanation terms orthographic overlap. Experiment 1 was set clarify that issue French. novel notion “pseudo-derivation” we introduce proved useful show surface morphology alone can contrast, pure overlap produces marginal inhibition. 2 used auditory-visual showed only semantically transparent words facilitate recognition their base.
