Abstract

The present study investigated individual differences in morphological priming using Hanja compound words as stimuli. Participants were divided into high and low MA groups, according to the morphological awareness (MA) score. Morphological relation between prime and target was manipulated as identical, different, pseudo, or unrelated. Participants performed the primed lexical decision task with primes masked. The results showed that morphological priming effects differed according to morphological awareness. Facilitatory priming effect was only significant for the high-MA group, suggesting that the representation and processing of Hanja compounds might be different among individuals with varied morphological knowledge. The results from the high-MA group are consistent with the semantic-morphological decomposition hypothesis. Based on the results, the structure and access of the Korean mental lexicon were discussed in relation to individual difference.
