三个实验考察了词义频率在歧义词孤立加工中的作用。受试者在词汇上做出判断，目标词是与同形词质数中出现频率较高或出现频率较低的意义相关联的单词。前两个实验绘制了两个意义的激活时间进程，结果表明，主导意义首先被提取，而从属意义被激活的速度较慢。在其提取后，较不频繁的意义的激活再次减少。实验三表明，意义选择是将注意力分配到与歧义词的主导意义有关的信息上的结果。遴选过程似乎很活跃，但受试者很难控制。
Three experiments examined the role of meaning frequency in the processing of ambiguous words in isolation. Subjects made lexical decisions to target words that were associates of the more frequent or less frequent meaning of a homograph prime. The first two experiments charted the time course of activation of the two meanings, showing that the dominant meaning is retrieved first, with the subordinate meaning activated more slowly. Subsequent to its retrieval, activation of the less frequent meaning decreases again. The third experiment indicated that meaning selection is the result of allocation of attention to information related to the dominant meaning of the ambiguous word. The selection process appears to be active but difficult for the subject to control.
