在两个实验中，我们考察了词频在快速单词命名和一项相对新颖的正则化任务中的影响，在该任务中，参与者被要求根据拼写与声音的对应来发音，而不是给出他们的正常发音(例如，发音pint，使其与提示押韵)。参与者被呈现了高频和低频的常规单词和例外单词，以及一组非单词。结果表明，在标准快速命名任务中存在正常词频效应(即高频词比低频词快)，而在正则化任务中，规则词的词频效应则相反，尽管规则词在正常命名任务和规则化任务中的发音方式是相同的。对于例外词，没有得到词频效应的这种反转。讨论的重点是这些结果对词汇加工的注意控制模型的启示。
In two experiments, we investigated the influence of word frequency in speeded word naming and in a relatively novel regularization task in which participants were required to pronounce words on the basis of spelling-to-sound correspondences instead of giving their normal pronunciations (e.g., pronounce pint so that it rhymes with hint). Participants were presented high- and low-frequency regular words and exception words, along with a set of nonwords. The results indicated that there was a normal word frequency effect (i.e., high-frequency words faster than low-frequency words) in the standard speeded naming task, whereas, for the regularization task, the word frequency effect was reversed for regular words, even though the regular words were pronounced in an identical fashion in both the normal naming and the regularization tasks. This reversal of the word frequency effect was not obtained for the exception words. The discussion focuses on the implication of these results for attentional control models of lexical processing.
