Abstract
A word written in Japanese kanji can be single (one kanji character) or compound (more than one character). We investigated the mental representation of single‐kanji and two‐kanji compound words by means of a long‐term facilitation paradigm. Over two experiments, the pattern of results indicated that identification of a target word was facilitated only by prior exposure to that identical word and not by a different word (single or compound) sharing a character with the target word.
