在汉字判断任务中,语音复合目标(由一个语义词根和一个语音词根组成)所遵循的启动项分别为:(a)目标词根和语义相关(R+S+), (b)目标词根和非语义相关(R+S-), (c)无词根但语义相关(R-S+), (d)无词根和非语义相关(R-S-)。靶自由基也因其出现的化合物数量而变化(即,可组合性)。当目标立即跟随启动时(实验1;SOA 243 ms),相对于R-S对照,R+S-启动后的目标潜伏期减慢,但R+S+和R-S+启动后的目标潜伏期得到同等促进。可组合性的增加显著减少了决策延迟。当10个项目分离启动和目标时(实验2),只有在R+S+启动后才有明显的促进作用。结果表明,汉字识别过程中只加工了语义词根这一类成分,词根重复导致的正字法相似性不能充分解释。(C) 1999学术出版社。
In a character decision task, phonetic compound targets (composed of a semantic radical and a phonetic component) followed primes that shared (a) the target's radical and were semantically related (R+S+), (b) the target's radical and were not semantically related (R+S-), (c) no radical but were semantically related (R-S+), and (d) no radical and were not semantically related (R-S-). Target radicals also varied as to the number of compounds in which they appeared (i.e., combinability). When targets followed primes immediately (Experiment 1; SOA 243 ms), target latencies following R+S- primes were slowed relative to R-S- controls but those following R+S+ and R-S+ primes were facilitated equivalently. Increases in combinability significantly reduced decision latencies. When 10 items separated primes and targets (Experiment 2), facilitation was evident only after R+S+ primes. Results indicate that one type of component, the semantic radical, is processed in the course of Chinese character recognition and that orthographic similarity due to repetition of a radical is not an adequate account.
