Yamada, Jun
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v10 n3-5 p425-37 Oct 1998
Finds that words were named faster in kana than in kanji but were translated faster in kanji than in kana. Shows that semantic access takes places 10 to 19 msec earlier in kanji words than in kana words, whereas phonological access takes places 27 to 31 msec earlier in kana words than in kanji words. (SR)
