Yamazaki, Ellis, Morrison, and Lambon Ralph in 1997 demonstrated that written and spoken age-of-acquisitions had a stronger effect on the naming latency of single Kanji words than any other variable including familiarity. The present study was designed to reanalyze Yamazaki, et al.'s data, using the ratings of written and spoken age-of-acquisitions and visual and auditory familiarities taken from the NTT lexical database. This analysis showed that visual familiarity exerted a stronger independent effect on naming latency than two types of age-of-acquisitions.
