Abstract

This study investigates the vowel transposition effect in Korean visual word recognition. There have been some inconsistent reports as to whether the letter transposition effect is modulated by consonant/vowel status in visual word recognition. This research conducted two experiments to examine whether a vowel transposition effect emerges in Korean visual word recognition. A lexical decision task and a masked priming lexical decision task were employed, utilizing transposed and replaced conditions. Consistent with prior research on Korean visual word recognition, both experiments revealed a null effect for vowel transposition. This research discussed the results of the present study with respect to the previous findings and theoretical explanations on Korean visual word recognition.
