Morphological decomposition based on the analysis of orthography (2008, background): “Similar effects are apparent in visual priming with fully visible primes: robust priming for semantically related morphological relatives but no priming for opaque morphological relatives (Rastle et al., 2000).”
Is there a ‘fete’ in ‘fetish’? Effects of orthographic opacity on morpho-orthographic segmentation in visual word recognition (2008, methodology): “These data bolster the case for a form of morphological decomposition that operates in the early stages of English visual word processing and that is insensitive to semantic information (e.g., Longtin et al., 2003; Longtin & Meunier, 2005; Rastle & Davis, 2003; Rastle et al., 2000, 2004).”
Morphological priming without morphological relationship (2003, background): “This is because it is unclear whether the priming effect observed with opaque pairs is not due to orthographic overlap: indeed, in the Rastle et al. (2000) study, the amounts of priming induced by control orthographic pairs and opaque pairs did not significantly differ.”
Masked cross-modal morphological priming: Unravelling morpho-orthographic and morpho-semantic influences in early word recognition (2005, methodology): “As demonstrated by Rastle et al. (2000) , masked semantic priming effects only tend to influence target processing with fairly high (and arguably, conscious) levels of prime duration (at 230 ms in their study).”
‘Fell’ primes ‘fall’, but does ‘bell’ prime ‘ball’? Masked priming with irregularly-inflected primes (2010, background): “This problem could be solved by postulating that the peripheral form level of analysis constitutes a morpho-orthographic decomposition procedure – a process restricted to semantically-blind decomposition of morphologically-structured stimuli – as described by Rastle et al. (2004). The second problem”
Morphologically Complex Words in L1 and L2 Processing: Evidence from Masked Priming Experiments in English. (2008, methodology): “Given that we used word primes (and given the results of Rastle et al. (2000)), orthographic relatedness should have produced an inhibitory effect for our Test condition, but not the full priming effect we obtained.”
Morphological decomposition and semantic integration in word processing (2007, background): “Rastle et al. (2000) reported facilitation with opaque and transparent word primes with a prime duration of 43 ms (e.g., both transparent pairs such as departure/depart and opaque pairs like apartment/apart yielded facilitation), but when the prime duration was increased to 230 ms, only transparent…”
The time course of visual word recognition as revealed by linear regression analysis of ERP data (2006, result): “Critically, this measure has been found to correlate well with subjective semantic relatedness ratings of word pairs (Rastle et al., 2000).”
A visual M170 effect of morphological complexity (2009, background): “Indeed, in paradigms where the prime is consciously perceived, semantic transparency is generally required for reliable priming between related forms (Feldman & Soltano, 1999 ; Marslen-Wilson et al, 1994 ; Rastle, Davis, Marslen-Wilson, & Tyler, 2000 ).”
Discontinuous morphology in time: Incremental masked priming in Arabic (2005, methodology): “Accordingly, apart from minimizing strategic behaviour, our choice of a small range of incremental steps in prime durations should allow us to track the dynamics of processing events as they unfold over time, and in a more fine-grained manner than earlier studies using this technique with larger SOA”
Productivity and priming: Morphemic decomposition in Arabic (2011, unknown): “To do this, we used the masked priming task (Forster & Davis, 1984; though see Norris & Kinoshita, 2008 ), which, as indicated above, has been used extensively to probe early stages in the recognition of visually presented morphologically complex words in Arabic and Hebrew as well as in many Indo-E”
