Abstract

We examined the age of acquisition(AoA) effect in Korean word recognition using picture naming, word naming, and lexical decision tasks. In Experiment 1, we presented picture naming and word naming tasks composed of stimuli from Snodgrass and Vanderwart(1980). The results showed that there were AoA effects in the picture naming latency, but not in the word naming latency. In Experiment 2, we manipulated the age of acquisition and word frequency for expansive Korean words in the word naming task. We found the frequency effects but not the AoA effects in the word naming latency. In Experiment 3, we examined the effects of AoA and word frequency in the lexical decision task for the same stimuli from Experiment 2. Both AoA and word frequency effects were found in the lexical decision latency, and the size of the AoA effects was similar between the two frequency(high, low) conditions. Our results can be explained in terms of the arbitrary mapping hypothesis.
