A series of experiments is reported examining orthographic priming effects between briefly presented pairs of letter strings. The experiments investigate the effects of the number and position of letters shared by primes and targets, and the effects of prime-target length. Priming effects increase nonlinearly as a function of both the number and the position of shared letters, and they are dependent on the positions of letters relative to both the end positions in the string and to the identities of their nearest neighbours. There is little effect of absolute string length on priming. These priming effects can be distinguished from intrusion errors where letters from primes are reported in response to targets. An account of orthographic processing is outlined which attributes priming to cooperative interactions between coarse relative-position coded letter cluster representations activated by primes and targets. The implications of the findings for understanding other effects in word recognition and reading are discussed.
