本文报道的前两个实验采用了两个偏旁汉字，并将它们的偏旁调换成另一个汉字。然后，研究人员将对这些换位刺激的角色决定和命名反应与没有通过换位产生的控制项目进行比较，没有发现差异，在第三个实验中也没有发现换位效应。这些结果被认为意味着在字符识别过程中，位置信息在激活部首信息方面是至关重要的。进一步的实验确实揭示了部首换位效应，但只有当一个四个部首的字符有两个部首换位时（因此有两个部首完整）。与前三个实验相比，两个偏旁字中的字符换位显示了相当大的干扰，这证实了位置信息在字符水平表征中并不那么重要的预期。结果总体上支持一个考虑汉语单词识别的层次框架，其中既有一个激进的和一个字符的代表性水平，与前者带来直接激活的特征信息，包括位置特征，（C）1999年学术出版社。
The first two experiments reported here took two-radical Chinese characters and transposed their radicals to create another character. Character decision and naming responses to these transposed stimuli were then compared to control items that were not created via transposition, and no difference was found. Nor was a transposition effect found in a third experiment examining noncharacters. These results were taken to mean that positional information is crucial in activating radical information during character recognition. A further experiment did reveal a radical-transposition effect, but only when a four-radical character had two of its radicals transposed (and hence had two of its radicals intact). In contrast to the first three experiments with two-radical characters, the transposition of characters within two-character words revealed considerable interference, which confirmed the expectation that positional information is not so important in character-level representations. The results overall support a hierarchical framework for considering the recognition of Chinese words whereby there is both a radical and a character level of representation, with the former bring directly activated by featural information, including positional features, (C) 1999 Academic Press.
