进行了三个实验来研究句子心理表征中否定概念的激活。受试者阅读以句子结尾的短文，该句子是否否定了两个直接宾语中的第二个：贾斯汀买了一个芒果，但没有买一个苹果/和一个苹果。先前的上下文被操纵，使得它要么许可否定，要么不许可。阅读后，受试者写了一个续篇。它们根据是否指代名词 1 或名词 2 进行编码。在前两个实验中，当上下文不允许否定时，Noun2 在否定时比在非否定时更常被书写。但在第三个实验中，当否定被许可时，Noun2 在两种情况下被写入的频率相同。这些发现表明，未经许可的否定会引起人们对被否定概念的注意，从而导致被否定概念变得比非被否定概念更加活跃。由 Elsevier B.V. 出版
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the activation of negated concepts in the mental representation of sentences. Subjects read short passages ending with a sentence that did or did not negate the second of two direct objects: Justin bought a mango but not an apple/and an apple. The prior context was manipulated such that it either licensed the negation or not. After reading, subjects wrote a continuation. These were coded for whether they referred to Noun1 or Noun2. In the first two experiments, when the context did not license the negation, Noun2 was written about more often when it was negated than when it was non-negated. But in the third experiment, when the negation was licensed, Noun2 was written about equally often in both conditions. These findings suggest that non-licensed negation draws attention to the negated concept resulting in the negated concepts becoming more active than non-negated concepts. Published by Elsevier B.V.
