摘要：本研究探讨了具有翻译对等同源词的外语词汇正确猜义能力的终身发展。它还旨在确定推动这一发展的认知和语言因素。为此，159名年龄在10岁到86岁之间说德语的瑞士参与者被要求翻译45个与德语、英语或法语同源的瑞典语书面和口语单词。此外，他们还接受了英语语言测试、德语词汇测试以及流体智力和工作记忆测试。研究发现，同系词的猜测能力在青年时期会得到提高，但在整个成年期，书面形式的猜测能力会进一步提高，而口头刺激的猜测能力从50岁开始下降。与这些发现一致的是，母语词汇知识是书面同源猜测成功的一个更强的预测因子，而流体智力是口语语态中最重要的预测因子。用于分析的原始数据和计算机代码可在网上免费获得。
Abstract This study investigates the lifespan development of the ability to correctly guess the meaning of foreign-language words with known translation-equivalent cognates. It also aims to identify the cognitive and linguistic factors driving this development. To this end, 159 German-speaking Swiss participants aged 10 to 86 were asked to translate 45 written and 45 spoken isolated Swedish words with German, English or French cognates. In addition, they were administered an English language test, a German vocabulary test as well as fluid intelligence and working memory tests. Cognate guessing skills were found to improve into young adulthood, but whereas they show additional increases in the written modality throughout adulthood, they start to decrease from age 50 onwards for spoken stimuli. Congruently with these findings, L1 vocabulary knowledge is a stronger predictor of written cognate guessing success, whereas fluid intelligence is the most important predictor in the spoken modality. Raw data and computer code used for the analyses are freely available online.
