In contrast, phonologically related distracters had little effect on tone discrimination responses. From this it was concluded that lemma selection, but not phoneme section is capacity demanding. By contrast, eye tracking studies show that both lemma selection and phoneme selection are capacity demanding. The present study aimed to explain the discrepancy between the two studies by firstly replicating Ferreira and Pashler's experiment. It was expected that the same pattern of results as in Ferreira and Pashler's experiment would be found. However due to faults with the design of the present experiment unexpected results were obtained. Necessary improvements to the design of the present experiment...
