Spelling-sound consistency affects the naming of high-frequency words

@article{citeulike:966251, abstract = {Presents a series of experiments which demonstrate that the view that spelling-sound consistency only affects the naming of low-frequency words is wrong. 24 college students, a total of 120 Ss, participated in each of the experiments. Results show that high-frequency inconsistent words yielded longer naming latencies than matched consistent words in each experiment. Consistency effects were strongest when inconsistent words had neighborhood properties that have been shown to produce robust consistency effects in low-frequency words, that is, they had low-frequency friends and high-frequency enemies. The final experiment demonstrated that both word-body consistency and individual letter-sound consistencies affect naming latencies for high-frequency words.
