| Abstract | Conducted 3 experiments, using 108 high school seniors and 32 university students, that extended previous observations on the slowing of lexical decisions by phonologically ambiguous (between Cyrillic and Roman alphabets) forms of Serbo-Croatian words relative to the phonologically unambiguous forms of the same words. In Experiment I, target words were preceded by asterisks or by context words associatively related and alphabetically matched to the targets. The effect of contexts was greater for phonologically ambiguous targets. In Experiment II, the effect of manipulating the alphabetic match of context word and target was limited to phonologically ambiguous words. Experiment III reproduced the results of Experiment I, adding visual degradation of the target stimuli on half of the trials, with no apparent interaction between context and visual degradation. |
