Task influences on the production and comprehension of compound words.

Studies of compound word processing have revealed effects of the compound's constituents in a wide variety of word production and comprehension tasks. Surprisingly, effects of the compound's constituents were not found in a recent word production study using the picture-naming task. Here, we examine...

      ab: Studies of compound word processing have revealed effects of the compound's constituents in a wide variety of word production and comprehension tasks. Surprisingly, effects of the compound's constituents were not found in a recent word production study using the picture-naming task. Here, we examined whether these contrasting constituent effects reflect methodological differences or whether they reflect the influence of task-specific characteristics on compound processing. A large set of compounds was used to elicit picture-naming latencies in Experiment 1 and visual lexical decision latencies in Experiment 2. Regression analyses revealed surface frequency effects in picture naming and lexical decision and constituent effects only in lexical decision. These results rule out methodological differences as the basis for the contrasting constituent effects observed between the various tasks and imply that constituent effects are best understood as arising out of task-specific characteristics.
