Transposed letter effects in prefixed words: Implications for morphological decomposition

Transposed Letter Effects in Prefixed Words: Implications for Morphological Decomposition.

A crucial issue in word encoding is whether morphemes are involved in early stages. One paradigm that tests for this employs the transposed letter (TL) effect - the difference in the times to process a word (misfile) when it is preceded by a TL prime (mifsile) and when it is preceded by a substitute letter (SL) prime (mintile) - and examines whether the TL effect is smaller when the two adjacen...

Transposed-letter priming effects in reading aloud words and nonwords.

A masked nonword prime generated by transposing adjacent inner letters in a word (e.g., jugde) facilitates the recognition of the target word (JUDGE) more than a prime in which the relevant letters are replaced by different letters (e.g., junpe). This transposed-letter (TL) priming effect has been widely interpreted as evidence that the coding of letter position is flexible, rather than precise...

Morphological Complexity in English Prefixed Words: An Experimental Investigation by

Do transposed-letter similarity effects occur at a morpheme level? Evidence for morpho-orthographic decomposition.

When does morphological decomposition occur in visual word recognition? An increasing body of evidence suggests the presence of early morphological processing. The present work investigates this issue via an orthographic similarity manipulation. Three masked priming lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine the transposed-letter similarity effect (e.g., jugde facilitates JUDGE more...
