在五个图词干扰实验中，我们考察了荷兰语在西班牙语和加泰罗尼亚语两种语言中观察到的性别一致性效应。受试者的表现不受图片性别和单词性别之间的关系的影响。结果表明，性别一致性效应并不是一种普遍的效应，而是随着语言的不同而不同，这取决于用于处理特定语言的性别/限定词选择系统的关键特征。与Miozzo和Caramazza提出的跨语言假设一致，我们认为对名词性别的提取在荷兰语中足以确定限定词的语音形式，但在加泰罗尼亚语或西班牙语中不能，这是未能在这两种语言中复制荷兰语结果的原因。
In five picture-word interference experiments we explore the gender congruity effect observed in Dutch in two languages, Spanish and Catalan. Participants' performance was not affected by the relationship between the gender of the picture and the gender of the word. The results show that the gender congruity effect is not a universal effect, but varies from language to language, depending on crucial characteristics of the gender/determiner selection system used to process a given language. Consistent with the crosslinguistic hypothesis presented by Miozzo and Caramazza we argue that the retrieval of the noun's gender is enough to specify the determiner's phonological form in Dutch, but not in Catalan or Spanish, and this is the cause of the failure to replicate the Dutch results in these two languages.
