Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of relative word frequency and the spelling-to-sound correspondence of heregoraphic homophone priming on the recognition of semanticallyrelated words. A cross-modal semantic paradigm has been applied, where homophone primes were presented auditorily and targets were presented visually. The difference in lexical decision latencies of the visual targets was calculated between semantically-related prime and semantically-unrelated prime to measure the size of facilitation. A facilitatory effect was shown only when the spelling corresponds to sound, and no such effect was observed for the relative word frequency condition. These findings indicated that an auditorily presented homophone activates all of its corresponding orthographic words and that the spelling-to-sound correspondence is more influential than the relative word frequency for homophone recognition.
