Abstract: To explore the impact of subjective phonetic-radical N on character naming in Chinese children, two naming tasks were carried out in 3rd, 5th and 7th grade students. In experiment 1, subjective N size was manipulated, results revealed that 3rd graders showed null N size effect; 5th graders showed a marginally significant inhibitory effect of subjective N size, naming characters from small subjective N faster than naming those from large subjective N; while 7th graders showed a significant inhibitory effect. In experiment 2, the independent variable was whether targets had higher-frequency neighbors, results exhibited that there was a significant inhibitory effect of higher-frequency neighbors, children needed longer reaction times for targets with higher-frequency neighbors than for those without higher-frequency neighbors. The above results suggested that the influence of subjective phonetic-radical N on character naming was gradually enhanced with age, there existed inhibitory effect of subjective N size in senior children. And this influence was related to the inhibitory effect of higher-frequency neighbors.

Key words: children, subjective phonetic-radical neighborhood, high-frequency neighbors, character naming
