Abstract Visual similarity effects are pervasive in masked priming (e.g., T4BLE→TABLE; obiect→OBJECT; docurnent→DOCUMENT) and can be easily explained in terms of uncertainty regarding letter identity. However, recent research failed to show visual similarity effects for primes containing accented vowels (e.g., féliz-FELIZ behaves as fálizFELIZ [happy in Spanish]). This null effect has been taken to suggest that accented and non-accented vowels (e.g., é and e) activate completely distinct representations. However, priming effects are reinstated for non-accented vowels (e.g., facilFÁCIL % filter(RT > 250) # Mean RTs in each condition tapply(byTrial$RT,list(byTrial$similarity, byTrial$accent),mean) # Convert to factors byTrial$similarityc=as.factor(byTrial$similarityc) byTrial$accentc=as.factor(byTrial$accentc) # RT BRMS model using Ex-Gaussian Distr.
