Martin、Vu、Kellas和Metcalf（本期）声称已经证明，从属偏见效应（当前面的上下文实例化一个具有高度主导意义的歧义词的从属意义时，该词的阅读时间会延长）可以通过强上下文消除。他们认为，这提供了关键的证据来区分词汇歧义解决的竞争模式：重新排序的访问模型（其中访问的含义为一个歧义词是详尽的，但在访问的顺序是由先前的消歧上下文的影响）和上下文敏感的模型（其中访问是有选择性的，在先前的消歧信息的存在）。我们认为，他们的演示有方法上的问题，但即使没有，目前还不清楚，下属偏见效应是适当的区分竞争模型的词汇歧义解决（重排序访问模型和上下文敏感模型）。这种效果是一个经验发现，而不是重新排序访问模型的基本原则。
Martin, Vu, Kellas, and Metcalf (this issue) claim to have demonstrated that the subordinate bias effect (when preceding context instantiates the subordinate meaning of an ambiguous word that has a highly dominant meaning, reading time on that word is lengthened) can be eliminated by strong context. They argue that this provides evidence critical to discriminating between competing models of lexical ambiguity resolution: the reordered access model (in which access of meanings for an ambiguous word is exhaustive but in which the order of access is influenced by prior disambiguating context) and the context-sensitive model (in which access is selective in the presence of prior disambiguating information). We argue that there are methodological problems with their demonstration, but even if there were not, it is unclear that the subordinate bias effect is appropriate for discriminating between competing models of lexical ambiguity resolution (the reordered access model and the context-sensitive model). The effect is an empirical finding and not a fundamental tenet of the reordered access model.
