Abstract
This paper reports an experiment in which lexical decision times for words with irregular spellingtosound correspondence eg GAUGE and matched regular words eg GRILL were measured under two conditions priming in which each target was preceded by a semantically related word and a control condition in which each target was preceded by an asterisk The results showed that lexical decision times were significantly longer for irregular words and that lexical decision times were significantly faster in the priming condition There was no interaction between these two factors indicating that these two variables have an additive effect on lexical decision speed The experiment therefore extends the range of conditions under which word regularity effects can be demonstrated and suggests that the phonological component of the lexical access process is uninfluenced by the provision of semantic context The nature of regularity effects with regard to lexical decision is also briefly discussed
