The results of the study showed a different pattern of priming for non-cognate as compared with Gollan et al study. The results of the study are discussed in terms of ¡°entry opening ¡°(Forster & Davis 1984; Davis, Schoknecht, & Carter, 1987) and Distributed Feature Model (De Groot ,1992). %K masked priming %K lexical decision task %K prime %K target %U http://ojs.academypublisher.com/index.php/jltr/article/view/7251
