Abstract
We compared Stroop phenomena in the three orthographies of Korean: Chinese characters, the phonetic syllabary hangul, and romanization. The amount of Stroop interference was highest in the case of hangul and deceased from hangul to Chinese characters to romanization. Japanese hiragana and katakana, which like hangul are phonetic syllabaries, show a lower interference effect chan Chinese characters in Japanese. This difference is considered to reflect differences in frequency between hangul and the two Japanese orthographies. Reverse Stroop phenomena were observed in Chinese characters and romanization, suggesting that both are processed in the right hemisphere.
