本文综述了最近关于拼写邻居对视觉单词识别的影响的研究，以期解决明显相互矛盾的发现。审查显示，经验证据并不像所声称的那样相互矛盾。在命名和词汇决定任务中，邻居一直被认为有助于对单词的反应。邻居的抑制效应似乎来自知觉识别任务中复杂的猜测策略或在不寻常的刺激环境中采用的词汇决定策略。对于英语单词，较高频率的邻居对词汇提取产生竞争影响的证据很少。这种影响在法语和西班牙语等语言中更为常见，可能是因为它们体现了拼写和音系学之间更一致的关系。这些发现对词汇表征形式的假设和词汇提取背后的平行激活机制的假设提供了重要的约束。
This paper reviews recent research on the effects of orthographic neighbors on visual word recognition in order to resolve apparently contradictory findings. The review reveals that the empirical evidence is not as contradictory as has been claimed. Neighbors have consistently been reported to facilitate responses to words in naming and lexical decision tasks. Inhibitory effects of neighbors appear to arise from sophisticated guessing strategies in the perceptual identification task or lexical decision strategies adopted in unusual stimulus environments. For English words, there is minimal evidence of competitive influences on lexical retrieval due to higher frequency neighbors. Such effects are more common in such languages as French and Spanish, perhaps because they embody a more consistent relationship between orthography and phonology. These findings provide important constraints on assumptions about the form of lexical representations and the parallel activation mechanisms assumed to underlie lexical retrieval.
