Abstract
Describes 3 experiments with a total of 60 undergraduates. Results show that (a) when ss read numbers or words aloud, the latency from stimulus onset to initial vocalization depended upon the number of syllables to be pronounced; (b) response latency also depended on syllables for same-different decisions, suggesting that the effect of syllables operates during stimulus recognition rather than during preparation for overt vocalization; and (c) a central process, preparatory for and more rapid than overt speech, is involved in comprehension of written language symbols.
