What is the neighbors of a word in Korean word recognition\ulcorner

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the unit of neighbor of Korean words. In English, a word's orthographic neighborhood is defined as the set of words that can be created by changing one letter of the word while preserving letter positions. For example, the words like pike, pole, and tile are all orthographic neighbors of the word 'pile'. In this study, 2 experiments were performed. In these experiments, 4 conditions of prime were included: primes sharing first letter of first syllable(1), first syllable(2), first syllable and the first letter of second syllable with target(3) and with no formal similarity with target(4). In Exp.1, RT was shortest in condition 3. In Exp.2, condition 2 had the shortest RT. We came to the conclusion that in Korean, a word's neighbor is words that share at least one syllable with the word.
