Abstract

Coltheart, Davelaar, Jonasson, & Besner (1977) insisted that word recognition can be regulated by the number and frequency of neighbors, which are defined as words that have the same length as a word in question and have only one different letter. The present study adopted the progressive demasking method to collect error responses that could reveal competing neighbors of a stimulus word. The collected errors were analysed to find clues to how to define neighborhood in the processing of Korean bisyllabic words. The results obtained were different from what was assumed by Coltheart et al. First, Kulja type as well as letter was found to be critical in activating neighbors. Initial letter was more important than middle and final letters in a syllable. However, semantic effects were not significant implying that orthographic factors prevails in the initial stage of word recognition, which is consistent with Coltheart et al. In sum, the results suggest that orthographic neighbors in Korean word recognition should be defined in multiple dimensions using strokes, letters, Kuljas, Kulja types, and so forth.
