  • When and how phonological similarity facilitates logographic cognate processing

    Open AccessYumeng Xu, Masahiro Yoshihara et al.ARTICLEJournal of Memory and Language2026

    Topic: Processing of orthographic cognates by logographic script bilinguals. • Phonological similarity facilitates cognate processing in a naming task. • Phonological similarity does not facilitate cognate processing in an LDT. • Facilitation effects due to overall phonological similarity were observed. • Phonological similarity aids retrieval of holistic phonological representations

  • No morphological connections between L2 past-tense and present-tense verbs for low-proficient bilinguals

    Open AccessJessie Wanner-Kawahara, Masahiro Yoshihara et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

    Aims and objectives: Masked priming lexical decision research involving relatively high-proficient Japanese–English bilinguals suggests that past-tense and present-tense morphological connections (e.g., fell-FALL and looked-LOOK) are represented in their L2 (English) lexicons in a way that is similar to how they are represented in L1 (English) lexicons. The goal of the present research was to determine whether the same is true for low-proficient …

  • Does rotation eliminate masked priming effects for Japanese kanji words

    Open AccessMasahiro Yoshihara, Mariko Nakayama et al.ARTICLECognition2024

    A key issue in recent visual word recognition literature is whether text rotation disrupts the early stages of orthographic processing. Previous research found no masked repetition priming effect when primes were rotated ≥90° in alphabetic languages. The present study investigated the impact of text rotation using logographic (two-character Japanese kanji) words. In Experiment 1, we conducted a masked repetition priming lexical decision experimen…

  • The origins of backward priming effects in logographic scripts for four-character words

  • The functional phonological unit of J apanese‐ E nglish bilinguals is language dependent

    Open AccessKeisuke Ida, Mariko Nakayama et al.ARTICLEJapanese Psychological Research2015

    Speech production research has shown that J apanese monolingual speakers use mora‐sized phonological units, not phoneme‐sized units, when phonologically encoding J apanese words. Recent bilingual research has indicated that proficient J apanese‐ E nglish bilinguals nevertheless use phoneme‐sized units when phonologically encoding E nglish words, suggesting that use of a phonological unit that is smaller than that of their L 1 develops with increa…

  • Improving Labour Standards in Clothing Factories

    Open AccessAnna Shea, Mariko Nakayama et al.ARTICLEGlobal Social Policy2010Cited by: 7References: 3

    This article studies the effects of the United States—Cambodia Textile Agreement (UCTA, 1999—2004) on labour standards in Cambodia. The authors find that the Agreement’s labour initiatives have led to relative improvements in the working conditions in garment factories. The study draws on extensive fieldwork conducted in Phnom Penh in 2006: in-depth interviews with dozens of respondents from all key stakeholders (labour, management, NGOs, governm…
