理解支持我们理解大小信息的机制是认知心理学的一个关键目标。在追求这一目标时采用的一个主要现象是物理大小一致效应--即观察到比较两个数字的相对数字大小受其相对物理大小的影响。物理尺寸一致性效应的标准解释将其归因于不相关的物理大小的比较对数值判断的自动影响。在这里,我们根据注意在典型尺寸一致性显示中的操作和数字比较的时间动力学,发展了对这种影响的另一种解释。我们还通过将物理大小一致操作与旨在改变典型大小一致显示内的注意操作(即,对数字的相对起始位置的操作)相结合的操作来测试从该可选帐户导出的多个预测。这项测试提供了与注意对大小一致效应的贡献相一致的证据。讨论了对我们理解震级的意义以及注意和震级之间的相互作用。
Understanding the mechanisms supporting our comprehension of magnitude information represents a key goal in cognitive psychology. A major phenomenon employed in the pursuit of this goal has been the physical size congruity effect—namely, the observation that comparing the relative numerical sizes of two numbers is influenced by their relative physical sizes. The standard account of the physical size congruity effect attributes it to the automatic influence of the comparison of irrelevant physical magnitudes on numerical judgments. Here we develop an alternative account of this effect on the basis of the operation of attention in the typical size congruity display and the temporal dynamics of number comparison. We also provide a test of a number of predictions derived from this alternative account by combining a physical size congruity manipulation with a manipulation designed to alter the operation of attention within the typical size congruity display (i.e., a manipulation of the relative onsets of the digits). This test provides evidence consistent with an attentional contribution to the size congruity effect. Implications for our understanding of magnitude and the interactions between attention and magnitude are discussed.
