Does phonology contribute to effects of orthographically related flankers in the flankers task? In order to answer this question, we implemented the flanker equivalent of a pseudohomophone priming manipulation that has been widely used to demonstrate automatic phonological processing during visual word recognition. In Experiment 1, central target words were flanked on each side by either a pseudohomophone of the target (e.g., roze rose roze), an orthographic control pseudoword (rone rose rone), or an unrelated pseudoword (mirt rose mirt). Both the pseudohomophone and the orthographic control conditions produced faster and more accurate responses to central targets, but performance in these two conditions did not differ significantly. Experiment 2 tested the same stimuli in a masked priming paradigm and replicated the standard finding in French that pseudohomophone primes produce significantly faster responses to target words than orthographic control primes. Therefore, contrary to its impact on masked priming, phonology does not contribute to effects of flanker relatedness, which would appear to be driven primarily by orthographic overlap.
语音学是否对侧翼任务中与正字法相关的侧翼刺激的效应有影响？为了回答这个问题，我们实施了一种相当于伪同音字启动操作的侧翼刺激，该操作已被广泛用于证明视觉单词识别过程中的自动语音处理。在实验1中，中央目标词的两侧分别是目标词的伪同音字（例如，roze rose roze）、正字法对照伪词（rone rose rone）或无关伪词（mirt rose mirt）。伪同音字条件和正字法对照条件都使对中央目标的反应更快、更准确，但这两种条件下的表现没有显著差异。实验2在掩蔽启动范式中测试了相同的刺激，并重复了法语中的标准发现，即伪同音字启动对目标词的反应明显快于正字法对照启动。因此，与它对掩蔽启动的影响相反，语音学对侧翼相关性效应没有影响，侧翼相关性效应似乎主要由正字法重叠驱动。
