Abstract: The present study investigated the perceptual precedence of Chinese single characters by using the recognition paradigm of Navon-type compound stimuli in college students. The results indicated that at the configural relationship level, the recognition of a single character appeared a significant stroke number effect, and the prior processing of local feature, which was influenced by the practice and cognitive chunking effects. But at the orientating relationship the recognition of compound single characters presented the global processing precedence, and was slower than both the recognition of monomer characters and compound geometrical shapes, which were not affected by both stroke number and local features. However, when the compound single characters' local components loaded certain independent semantic or configural meanings, this global precedence effect was reversed, while the local precedence was enhanced. In short, the pattern of visual perception mainly depended on the local and global configural precedence, as well as the local semantic information. Hence, the conjunction with global and local processing facilitated the recognition of the Chinese single characters.

Key words: single characters, word recognition, global precedence, perceptual processing
