| Abstract | With 36 Yugoslavian high school juniors as Ss, a backward masking paradigm was used in which a word target was followed by a pseudoword mask, followed in turn by a nonlinguistic pattern mask. Stimulus materials were Serbo-Croatian. The pseudoword mask was printed in Cyrillic or Roman. Results indicated significantly higher levels of target identification for homophonous masking than for nonhomophonous masking. Alphabet congruity affected the magnitude of the phonological effect in a direction that supported a hypothesis of inhibition of the letter processing units of one alphabet by the unique letters of the other alphabet. Implications for phonology's role in mediating lexical access in Serbo-Croatian and English and for a network model of visual word identification in Serbo-Croatian were discussed. |
