Eriksen, O''Hara and Eriksen proposed that the latency advantage of same over different judgments when the match is based upon physical identity is due to differential amounts of response competition between the responses by which the judgment of same or different is signified. Responses of different are slowed by a high level of priming in the competing response signifying same. In the present experiment, the response competition model was extended to nominal matches and, in particular, to what Proctor has termed the name-physical disparity: a pair of letters are more rapidly judged to have the same name if they are the same case (e.g., a a) than if they are in different cases (e.g., A a). While response competition effects occurred in nominal matches of this kind, the name-physical disparity was greater than could be attributed solely to response competition. Part of the name-physical disparity evidently could be attributed to the subject''s having 2 chances to make a nominal match when the letter pair was identical both physically and in name. The match could be made either on the basis of the physical or the name code. Name and physical codes were processed at least partially independently.
