“…Further, in the light of the meta-analytic review conducted by Rastle and Davis (2008), in which it was demonstrated over 18 experiments that such stimuli yield priming effects close to zero, we felt confident that our results could be safely attributed to morphological overlap.…”

On the basis of data from masked priming experiments, it has been argued that an automatic process of decomposition is applied to all morphologically structured stimuli, irrespective of their lexical characteristics (Rastle, Davis, & New, 2004). So far, this claim has been tested only with respect to low-frequency primes and nonword primes. This is a limitation because some models of morphological processing postulate that only high-frequency complex words are recognized as whole forms. Thus, a more stringent test would be to determine whether high-frequency complex words also show evidence of masked priming. We report an experiment that compares masked-priming effects observed when the primes constitute morphologically structured nonwords (e.g., alarmer–ALARM), low-frequency words with a mean frequency of 2 per million (e.g., notional–NOTION), and high-frequency words with a mean frequency of 60 per million (e.g., national–NATION). These three conditions yielded significant and equivalent effects, lending strong support to the notion of a routine form of decomposition that is applied to all morphologically structured stimuli.

“…These two characteristics unequivocally define derivationally-related words as opposed to pseudo-derived words -e.g., corner and corn, which lack (ii) -and words that are semantically related -e.g., dealer and trade, which lack (i). The fact that morpho-orthographic representations are able to accommodate for slight modifications of the stem in derived forms (e.g., adorable-adore, dropper-drop; McCormick et al, 2008) also guarantees that the system is able to capture the relationship between allomorphic derived words (e.g., sizable) and their stems (size).…”

Learning to read takes time and it requires explicit instruction. Three decades of research has taught us a good deal about how children learn about the links between orthography and phonology during word reading development. However, we have learned less about the links that children build between orthographic form and meaning. This is surprising given that the goal of reading development must be for children to develop an orthographic system that allows meanings to be accessed quickly, reliably and efficiently from orthography. This review considers whether meaning-related information is used when children read words aloud, and asks what we know about how and when children make connections between form and meaning during the course of reading development.
