A consistent phonology between sequentially presented pseudoword quadrigrams was found to improve performance in a letter-detection task. Each of 8 subjects was required to judge whether an M appeared in either the initial or terminal position of letter strings. The letter N was used as a foil. For each presentation, two quadrigrams appeared sequentially, the first for 20 ms and the second for a duration that allowed approximately 75% overall accuracy. The strings differed only by the letter next to the one on the opposite end of the string from the M or N. Subjects were not told that two strings were exposed on each presentation, and when asked, none reported having been aware of this. Nevertheless, detection was significantly better when the two strings were homophones (e.g., SERM, SIRM) than when they were not (e.g., SARM, SORM). Results are discussed in terms of phonological access to the mental lexicon
