In the present study, we examined the effects of orthographic and phonological neighborhood sizes for Japanese Katakana words using a lexical decision task. Kawakami (2002) reported an inhibitory orthographic neighborhood size effect along with a null phonological neighborhood size effect in his lexical decision tasks. In contrast, Grainger, Muneaux, Farioli, and Ziegler (2005) reported an interaction between orthographic and phonological neighborhood sizes in a lexical decision task. Therefore, we re-examined the effects of orthographic and phonological neighborhood sizes for low-frequency Katakana words in a lexical decision task. Consistent with Grainger et al., we found the interaction between orthographic and phonological neighborhood sizes, indicating that lexical decision performance for Katakana words is modulated by the nature of orthographic-phonological relationships.
在本研究中，我们使用词汇判断任务考察了日语片假名单词的正字法和语音邻域大小的影响。川上（2002）在其词汇判断任务中报告了正字法邻域大小的抑制效应以及语音邻域大小的零效应。相比之下，格兰杰、米诺、法廖利和齐格勒（2005）在一项词汇判断任务中报告了正字法和语音邻域大小之间的相互作用。因此，我们在词汇判断任务中重新考察了低频片假名单词的正字法和语音邻域大小的影响。与格兰杰等人的研究一致，我们发现了正字法和语音邻域大小之间的相互作用，这表明片假名单词的词汇判断表现受到正字法与语音关系性质的调节。
