许多研究表明，在视觉单词识别的早期阶段，由一个以上语素组成的单词被分解成语素。在当前的掩蔽启动词汇决策研究中，我们考察了前缀和后缀的非词以及由词干和非语素结尾组成的非词是否发生了分解。素数与目标的关联性以三种方式被操纵：(1)素数与目标词在语义上具有透明的形态关系(例如，次廉价-廉价，廉价-廉价)；(2)素数由目标和非词缀字母串组成(例如，blacheap-Cheap，cheapstry-Cheap)；(3)素数是与目标无关的真实复杂的单词(例如，误叫-廉价，理想主义-廉价)。词缀和非词缀的非词缀都显著地促进了对其词干目标的识别，这表明嵌入的词干是被激活的，而不是与真实的词缀或非词缀相伴。茎被嵌入到初始和最终的串位置之间在启动上没有差异，表明嵌入的茎的激活是位置无关的。最后，在语义可解释的词缀条件下比在非词缀条件下观察到更多的启动，这表明复杂新词加工过程中存在一种语义许可机制。
Much research suggests that words comprising more than one morpheme are decomposed into morphemes in the early stages of visual word recognition. In the present masked primed lexical decision study, we investigated whether or not decomposition occurs for both prefixed and suffixed nonwords and for nonwords which comprise a stem and a non-morphemic ending. Prime–target relatedness was manipulated in three ways: (1) primes shared a semantically transparent morphological relationship with the target (e.g.,subcheap-CHEAP, cheapize-CHEAP); (2) primes comprised targets and non-affixal letter strings (e.g.,blacheap-CHEAP, cheapstry-CHEAP); and (3) primes were real, complex words unrelated to the target (e.g.,miscall-CHEAP, idealism-CHEAP). Both affixed and non-affixed nonwords significantly facilitated the recognition of their stem targets, suggesting that embedded stems are activated independently of whether they are accompanied by a real affix or a non-affix. There was no difference in priming between stems being embedded in initial and final string positions, indicating that embedded stem activation is position-independent. Finally, more priming was observed in the semantically interpretable affixed condition than in the non-affixed condition, which points to a semantic licensing mechanism during complex novel word processing.
