The purpose of this study was to investigate the relations among the graphemic, phonemic, and semantic processings of Chinese characters (
KANJI) in word recognition processes. The graphemical matching task, which was for subjects to decide whether paired stimuli presented serially are graphemically identical, was performed to 20 university students. Three factors, which might influence the reaction time in the matching task, were munipulated. They were interstimulus interval (200 ms and 2000 ms), word frequency (High and Low), and type (five conditions as to the relations of a stimulus pair in the three processings). The results were interpreted as suggesting that these three processings functioned in parallel and interactively, that they were carried out within 300 ms, and that the change of codes was not occurred within 2100 ms.
