Abstract	Two experiments investigated the effects of long-term morphological priming in the fragment completion task. Completions for some of the fragments were presented visually during a preceding task, and others were presented auditorily. In addition, some of the target completions were morphologically related to words that were presented visually during the study task, while still others were unrelated to any of the study words. Fragments were most likely to be completed if either the completion or one of its morphological relatives was presented visually during the study task. Analyses of response latencies also indicated that the time course of morphological priming was similar to that of visual identify priming and that both morphological and visual identity priming had earlier influences than auditory identity priming. Overall, the results indicate that morphological priming includes a modality-specific component that reflects the operation of processes that occur relatively early in the time course of processing.
