Identifying the On- and Kun-Readings of Chinese Characters: Identification of On Versus Kun as a Strategy-Based Judgment.
Hirose, Hitoshi
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v10 n3-5 p375-94 Oct 1998
Finds that, when only one reading is possible, subjects make a judgment directly, but when multiple readings exist for a given character the subjects first compare the possible readings and make inferences; only when this process is complete do they apply a strategy to identify a reading as On (borrowed from Chinese) or Kun (native Japanese).
