| Abstract | Hypothesized that reliance on articulatory coding would be greater for Serbo-Croatian than for English because its shallow orthography would allow more efficient use of spelling-to-speech correspondences. 56 American and 68 Yugoslavian college students read words and pseudowords. Each stimulus was preceded by a word that was related or unrelated semantically. Semantic priming of target words facilitated performance in both lexical decision and naming for English, results suggesting an influence of internal lexicon on both processes. Semantic priming facilitated only lexical decision for Serbo-Croatian, which suggests that naming, at least in that language, is not strongly influenced by the internal lexicon. In Serbo-Croatian, lexical decision and naming latencies were correlated when both tasks were not semantically primed and were uncorrelated when either or both tasks received priming. This suggests that articulatory coding is used in lexical decision, at least under conditions in which contextual semantic facilitation is absent. In English, lexical decision and naming were correlated uniformly whether semantic facilitation was present or not, which suggests a stronger influence of the internal lexicon on both recognition and pronunciation. |
