Pseudo-morphemic structure inhibits, but morphemic structure facilitates, processing of a repeated free morpheme

Abstract
Five experiments examined whether words with embedded morphemes are automatically morphologically parsed, even when doing so does not reflect the actual morphological structure. We found that the presence of an embedded morpheme in a word affects the subsequent processing of those embedded morphemes and that the effect depends on a mixture of facilitation due to the orthographic overlap and inhibition that depends on whether the target functions morphologically in the prime. Exposure to a word in which the target (e.g. car) does not function as a morpheme (e.g. carpet) made it more difficult (relative to an unrelated prime) to identify that target as a word, whereas exposure to a word in which the target was a productive morpheme (e.g. hogwash) made it easier to process the target (e.g. hog), and that these effects cannot be reduced to semantic, orthographic, phonological, or syllabic overlap.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
