Psycholinguistic research has been concerned with the processing and representation of
morphologically complex words for many decades. Leading questions are whether complex …

Two lexical decision experiments were carried out in Spanish in order to address questions
about the processing and representation of morphologically complex words in the mental …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews evidence of morphological processing in word
recognition. Studies of morphology that employ the repetition priming techniques are …

Much research suggests that words comprising more than one morpheme are decomposed
into morphemes in the early stages of visual word recognition. In the present masked primed …

In concatenative languages such as English, the morphemes of a word are linked linearly so
that words formed from the same base morpheme also resemble each other along …

This research investigated the role of frequency and semantic factors in the processing of
morphologically complex words. Unaffixed targets were immediately preceded by either …

Masked priming effects in word identification tasks such as lexical decision and word
naming have been attributed to a lexical mechanism whereby the masked prime opens a …

A masked priming paradigm was used to investigate morphological influences on lexical
decision performance. Compound words (eg, bookshop, jaywalk), monomorphemic words …

The goal of this paper is to review the main results offered by some experimental paradigms
to support morphological processing of visual isolated words. Three theoretical hypotheses …

Two masked priming experiments investigated the impact of prime lexicality (word vs.
nonword) and the pseudo-morphological structure of prime stimuli (pseudosuffixed vs …
