Abstract

Previous studies on syllabic neighborhood effects had not considered the effects of morphological family size which could reduce inhibitory effects that take place as the size of syllabic neighborhood increases. The present study investigated whether the large morphological family size reduces the neighborhood size effect in phonological syllables or in orthographic syllables. Two lexical decision tasks were conducted to examine this issue. The result of Experiment 1 revealed that large morphological family size led to the decrease in inhibitory effects as the size of phonological syllable neighborhoods increased. However, in Experiment 2, while the morphological family size had no effect in the reduction of lexical decision latency, the lexical decision latency increased for large orthographic syllable neighborhoods. The implications of different morphological family size influence on phonological and orthographic neighborhood size effects are discussed in the present study.
