Visual Word Recognition in Bilinguals: Evidence for a Cooperation between Visual and Sound Based Codes during Access to a Common Lexical Store.

Nas, Gerard

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, v22 n5 p526-34 Oct 1983

Two experiments are reported in which mismatched sounds and spelling were studied in Dutch pseudo-words used as stimuli in English lexical decision experiments. Results show mismatches in spelling or sound result in longer latencies for Dutch pseudo-words than for their nonword controls, supporting a cooperation model of lexical access. (MSE)
