• We present two auditory-auditory priming experiments investigating whether decomposition effects for pseudo-related prime-target pairs like corner → CORN are restricted to early visual word recognition [10] or can also be found in auditory processing. Experiment 1 shows no difference in facilitation effects for pseudo-suffixed pairs and purely phonologically-related pairs (e.g., cashew → CASH). Experiment 2 uses a delayed repetition paradigm to tease apart pseudo-morphological and phonological effects. Results show a significantly larger decay for the pseudo-related compared to the phonologically related condition, suggesting that pseudo-suffixes also trigger an automatic decomposition process in auditory processing.
