%X Semantic transparency has been extensively analyzed in research on visual word recognition. Under the masked priming paradigm, it has consistently been shown thatopaque and transparent words are facilitated relative to form-related controls, but differences in priming between one condition and another have not been conclusivelyproven. Hence, research has been unable to theoretically elucidate the possible value of semantic transparency in the processing of derived words. This study describes twolexical decision experiments in Spanish. Experiment 1 revealed differences between the transparent and orthographic conditions, with no differences between the otherconditions in the analyses of the error rates. In the second experiment, the participants visited the laboratory on two occasions, separated by a week. The task was administeredtwice, with participants responding to one of the experimental lists on each day. The results of this second experiment revealed significant differences in the size of thepriming effect of the opaque and transparent conditions compared to the form-related condition, but without differences between these two effects. We discuss these findingsfrom the perspective of current models of visual lexical processing.
