title: Semantic priming of Kanji words in the cerebral hemispheres.
abstract: Two experiments were conducted to investigate how the spreading activation arose in hemispheres using single and 2-letter Kanji words. Results suggested that single- and 2-letter Kanji words were processed differentially and the semantic activation mechanisms seemed to be different from that of English words.
