The last 40 years have witnessed a growing interest in the mechanisms underlying the
visual identification of complex words. A large amount of experimental data has been …

There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as 'tax-
able'and 'kiss-es' are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are …

Recent theories of morphological processing have been dominated by the notion that
morphologically complex words are decomposed into their constituents on the basis of their …

This paper reports results from masked priming experiments investigating regular past-tense
forms and deadjectival nominalizations with-ness and-ity in adult native (L1) speakers of …

Many studies have suggested that a word's orthographic form must be processed before its
meaning becomes available. Some interpret the (null) finding of equal facilitation after …

In three experiments we compared the performance of native English speakers to that of
Spanish–English and Dutch–English bilinguals on a masked morphological priming lexical …

In four lexical decision experiments, we investigated masked morphological priming with
Dutch prefixed words. Reliable effects of morphological relatedness were obtained with …

We employ a single-trial correlational MEG analysis technique to investigate early
processing in the visual recognition of morphologically complex words. Three classes of …

Reading is a cultural invention and a learned skill that is acquired only through years of
instruction and practice. Understanding the functional mechanisms that underpin this …

It is demonstrated that the meaning given to an ambiguous word (eg, stick) can be biased by
the masked presentation of a polymorphemic word derived from that meaning (eg, sticky) …
