过去20年的单词识别研究通过呈现印刷频率高和印刷频率低的词语来操纵词汇熟悉度,大多数研究报告印刷频率与几个第二变量之一之间存在交互作用,即拼写规则、语义具体性或多义性。然而,这些相互作用的方向在不同的研究中是不一致的。六个新的实验阐明了这些不一致的结果。实验I和实验II对89名大学生进行了调查,结果表明,学生对印刷频率较低的单词并不总是同样熟悉。相反,SS对经验熟悉度的评分表明,先前研究中使用的许多低印刷频率的单词在这一维度上存在差异。对78名大学生进行了四个词汇决定实验,通过对词汇熟悉度、双词频率、语义具体性和词义个数的正交性操作,对词汇熟悉度进行了评估。结果表明,在这些变量中,只有经验熟悉程度能可靠地影响单词识别潜伏期。这反过来又表明,之前不一致的发现是由于混淆了对第二个变量的经验熟悉。(参考文献68)(心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA,版权所有)
Word recognition studies conducted over the past 2 decades manipulated lexical familiarity by presenting words of high vs low printed frequency, and most reported an interaction between printed frequency and one of several second variables, namely, orthographic regularity, semantic concreteness, or polysemy. However, the direction of these interactions was inconsistent from study to study. Six new experiments clarify these discordant results. Exps I and II, conducted with 89 college students, demonstrate that words of the same low printed frequency are not always equally familiar to Ss. Instead, Ss' ratings of experiential familiarity suggest that many of the low-printed-frequency words used in prior studies varied along this dimension. Four lexical decision experiments, conducted with 78 undergraduates, reexamined the prior findings by orthogonally manipulating lexical familiarity, as assessed by experiential familiarity ratings, with bigram frequency, semantic concreteness, and number of meanings. Results suggest that of these variables, only experiential familiarity reliably affects word recognition latencies. This in turn suggests that previous inconsistent findings were due to confounding experiential familiarity with a second variable.(68 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
