图片命名中的词频效应通常被认为是词汇通达的标志。然而，词汇频率与其他变量相关，如概念熟悉度，可以产生类似于图片命名任务中的词汇频率的效果。在本研究中，采用延迟图片命名任务来解决图片命名中的频率效应是由于影响知觉和语义识别阶段加工的变量（即，输入级）。尽管所有的输入加工阶段都在命名提示出现之前完成，但在这个任务中仍然获得了很强的频率效应。这些结果表明，词汇频率效应是独立的变量影响输入阶段的图片命名，因此，确认词汇频率效应作为一个签名效应的词汇访问。
The lexical frequency effect in picture naming is generally assumed to constitute a signature of lexical access. Lexical frequency, however, is correlated with other variables, like concept familiarity, that can produce effects similar to those of lexical frequency in picture naming tasks. In this study, a delayed picture naming task was employed to address the hypothesis that the frequency effect in picture naming is due to variables that affect processing in the perceptual and semantic identification stages (i.e., input stages). Despite the fact that all the input processing stages were completed prior to the presentation of the naming cue, a strong frequency effect was still obtained in this task. These results establish that the lexical frequency effect is independent of variables affecting the input stages of picture naming, and, hence, confirm the lexical frequency effect as a signature effect of lexical access.
