Abstract
To investigate the effects of frequency of use of Chinese characters and Romanization (alphabets), experiments were conducted using Vietnamese Quocngu, which has an alphabetic orthography, and Chunom, which uses pseudo-Chinese characters. Required times for color-naming were highest for Quocngu, which has a high frequency of use, and lowest for Chunom, which has a low frequency of use, thereby supporting the response-competition hypothesis. In our investigation of the hypothesis, Chunom and Quocngu yielded typical support. We also compared results for Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean stimuli.
