To examine the effects of script type on search performance, an experiment was conducted in which subjects searched for a target in a prose passage/a scrambled-letter passage written in hiragana only or in kanji and kana. The target used was a symbol, an inverted-letter, or a misspelling. In a symbol search task requiring a graphemic matching between target representation and each background item, there was no difference in search time between two script types. In an inverted-letter search task requiring an identification of each item and a decision of its orientation, the target in the passage written in hiragana only was searched faster than in kanji and kana. In a proofreading task requiring semantic processing, on the other hand, the prose passage written in kanji and kana was read faster. These results showed that the effect of script type depended upon the processing demand required for the task.
