Abstract

Three experiments investigated the source of null phonemic masking effects with homophones under phonology discouraging conditions. Particularly, we examined whether the phonemic masking effect depends on the dominance of the homophones and list structure. For this end, we compared the phonemic masking effect for subordinate and dominant homophones presented in either a blocked or mixed condition. Our findings indicated that neither of these two factors systematically modulated the phonemic masking effect. However, there was some evidence for reliance on phonology in each of the conditions.
