| Abstract | Investigated evidence of morphological processing in 3 word recognition tasks. In Experiment 1, an interaction of base morpheme ambiguity and affix characteristics was obtained, and was interpreted as evidence that all morphological constituents of a word participate in lexical access. In Experiment 2, facilitation due to morphological relatedness of prime and target was observed with Serbo-Croatian materials in the lexical decision and naming versions of the repetition priming task, and results were interpreted as evidence of a morphological principle of organization among whole-word forms in the lexicon. In Experiment 3, morphological affixes of both English and Serbo-Croatian words were segmented from a source word and affixed to a target word more rapidly than phonemically matched controls. |
