The Relationship between Word Frequency and Semantic Priming Effects in Hangul Word Recognition

Abstract

We compared the magnitude of automatic semantic priming effects in high-frequency and low-frequency words in Hangul (Korean writing system) using lexical decision tasks. The duration of prime words (SOA) was manipulated as 50 ms, 80 ms, and 200 ms in Experiments 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In all three experiments, response latency was shorter for high-frequency target words than for low-frequency target words (word frequency effects). Response latency was also shorter when a target word was semantically related to a prime word than when it was semantically unrelated to a prime word (semantic priming effects). Most importantly, there was an interaction between word frequency and semantic priming effects: semantic priming effects were larger for high-frequency target words than for low-frequency target words. This interaction was statistically significant at both 80 ms and 200 ms SOAs.
