AB  - In the current study, the effects of orthographic and phonological processing in 
      Chinese character copying were investigated using a data set extracted from a 
      database containing handwriting data of 856 stimuli; the responses of which were 
      collected from 100 participants. To investigate the effect of character 
      frequency, radical frequency, and phonetic regularity, 151 phonetic compounds 
      were selected from the database because (1) their corresponding phonetic radicals 
      were all free-standing characters, (2) their corresponding phonetic radicals were 
      located at either the right or the bottom positions in the characters, and (3) no 
      more than 10% of the participants made errors when copying these target 
      characters. The results of the linear mixed effect models revealed that after 
      controlling for inter-stroke distance (ISD) and stroke number, the inter-stroke 
      intervals (ISIs) at the radical and logographeme boundaries were significantly 
      longer, indicating significant orthographic processing in the immediate copying 
      task that radicals and logographemes were used as writing units. In addition, 
      shorter ISIs at the logographeme boundary associated with higher radical 
      frequency, and shorter ISIs at the radical boundary associated with higher 
      character frequency and regular characters, were observed. These observations 
      indicated significant orthographic and phonological effects in the immediate 
      copying task. Finally, the significant phonetic regularity effect observed also 
      supported the notion that phonology contributes to Chinese character writing and 
      that the effects of central processing, including character frequency and 
      phonetic regularity, cascade over peripheral processing during Chinese character 
      copying.
