Kanji are categorized into four types based on the combination of ‘‘subword validity’’ (when the right phonemic radical represents the same On reading as the whole Kanji character) and ‘‘radical-neighbor consistency’’ (when the whole Kanji character represents the same On reading with all its neighbor characters). The study demonstrated that both subword validity and radical-neighbor consistency affect naming latencies and error rates for relatively high-frequency Kanji character words. Moreover, both analytic and holistic decoding processes, which correspond to subword and whole-character activation, are used in the naming of Japanese single Kanji character words. Accounts of the findings by dual-route and connectionist models are discussed.
