Article Abstract:
A description on a series of picture-word interference experiments with Italian-speaking participants where the grammatical gender of nouns and the phonological transparency of suffixes is manipulated is presented. It is suggested that the selection of grammatical gender reflects a competitive process preceding the access to morpho-phonological forms and that it is mandatory.

On recognizing proper names: the orthographic cue hypothesis
Article Abstract:
An investigation was carried out on the identification of proper names and common nouns with the help of the lexical decision model. The proper names were presented in various ways, but were correctly identified every time, which demonstrates that recognition of proper names is based on their orthographic nature, and rules out interference of any other variable.
