Imageability aids in naming low-frequency irregular words, especially for those with strong phonological coding skills. This suggests semantic factors influence phonological coding in weak orthography-phonology mappings.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Previous research indicated imageability aids naming of low-frequency irregular words.
  • The role of individual differences in this effect was not fully explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how phonological coding skill moderates the effect of imageability on word naming.
  • To extend previous findings on imageability and irregular word naming across a larger item set.

Main Methods:

  • Two experiments were conducted.
  • Participants named low-frequency irregular words varying in imageability.
  • Phonological coding skill was assessed.

Main Results:

  • Experiment 1 demonstrated that the impact of imageability on word naming is contingent upon phonological coding skill.

  • Experiment 2 confirmed the effect of imageability on naming low-frequency irregular words across a broader range of stimuli.

    • Conclusions:

    • Semantic factors, specifically imageability, appear to play a role in phonological coding.
    • This influence is most evident when the connections between orthography (spelling) and phonology (sound) are less robust.
