タイトル(掲載誌)CARLS series of advanced study of logic and sensibility
一般注記type:text
Letters/syllables contain information only about their shape and sound in contrast to visual words which carry semantic, phonological, and orthographic information. The features—shape, sound, or both—by which the letter-sensitive areas of the brain discriminate letters are not known. To study the process of letter recognition, we used refractory suppression phenomenon in functional MRI and Japanese kana letters each of which represents a syllable. Kana consists of two groups of letters, hiragana and katakana; they differ in shape but each letter in one group has a samesound counter part in the other. We found that phonetic information is an important form of information used in distinguishing letters.
