在词汇和语义任务中，较早习得的单词比较晚习得的单词处理得更快，证明这种习得年龄（AoA）效应毋庸置疑，然后从经验上调查这些效应，因为AoA与其他单词属性（如频率和可想象性）之间的自然关联而变得复杂。为了找到AoA效应的实验室模拟，使这些问题更容易解决，我们进行了三个实验，其中研究发现，在图片命名、词汇决策和语义分类方面，习得顺序效应持续了数周。研究结果表明，习得顺序在词汇表征的形成中起着重要作用，它独立于其他因素，如累积频率频率轨迹和可想象性累积学习效应的分析为研究早期和后期经验对词汇表征和其他心理表征形成的差异影响提供了可能。单词学习中习得顺序效应的发现也对第二语言词汇的课堂教学有启示(C) 2010 Elsevier Inc .版权所有
Early acquired words are processed faster than later acquired words in lexical and semantic tasks Demonstrating such age of acquisition (AoA) effects beyond reasonable doubt and then investigating those effects empirically is complicated by the natural correlation between AoA and other word properties such as frequency and imageability In an effort to find a laboratory analog of AoA effects which would allow such issues to be addressed more easily we conducted three experiments in which participants learned foreign words with some (early) words trained from the outset while other (late) words were introduced some time later then interleaved with the early words Order of acquisition effects were observed in picture naming lexical decision and semantic categorization persisting for several weeks after the end of training The results demonstrate an important role for order of acquisition in the formation of lexical representations that is independent of other factors such as cumulative frequency frequency trajectory and imageability Analyses of cumulative learning effects offer the potential to investigate the differential impact of early and later experiences on the formation of lexical and other mental representations The discovery of order of acquisition effects in word learning also has implications for classroom teaching of second language vocabulary (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
