| Abstract | 72 native speakers of English and 72 speakers of Serbo-Croatian were presented with simultaneous printed and spoken verbal stimuli and had to decide whether they were equivalent. Decision reaction time (RT) was measured in 3 experimental conditions: clear or degraded print and speech
and clear print and degraded speech. Both effects of degradation were stronger in English than in Serbo-Croatian. They were the same for high- and low-frequency words in both languages. Results are accounted for by a parallel interactive processing model that assumes lateral connections between the orthographic and phonological systems at all of their levels. |
