图片命名任务为词汇表征和提取理论提供了重要的数据，并在手语中得到了成功的应用。然而，词汇或语音因素以及刺激性质对手势提取的具体影响却知之甚少。为了考察美国手语(ASL)中的词汇提取，我们使用了524张图片(272个物体和251个动作)进行了计时图片命名研究。我们还对425张图片的子集将ASL命名与之前的英语口语数据进行了比较。失聪的美国手语手语者命名物体图片的速度和一致性比动作图片更快、更一致，就像之前为说英语的人所报道的那样。词汇频率、象似性、较好的名字一致性和较低的语音复杂性都有利于S的命名反应时。符号较短的图片命名反应时(以平均反应时长衡量)也更快。具有更多标志性和较短ASL名称的图片的目标名称一致性较高。图片的视觉复杂性减慢了RTS，降低了目标名称的一致性。ASL和英语的RTS和目标名称一致性相关，但ASL的一致性较低，可能是因为图片的英语偏见。ASL的RTS速度更快，我们将其归因于较小的词典。总体而言，研究结果表明，除了象似性应被纳入考虑因素外，为口语开发的词汇提取模式也可用于手语。ASL的开源图片命名数据集为研究人员、教育工作者或临床医生提供了一个重要的、首创的资源，用于各种研究、教学或评估目的。
Picture-naming tasks provide critical data for theories of lexical representation and retrieval and have been performed successfully in sign languages. However, the specific influences of lexical or phonological factors and stimulus properties on sign retrieval are poorly understood. To examine lexical retrieval in American Sign Language (ASL), we conducted a timed picture-naming study using 524 pictures (272 objects and 251 actions). We also compared ASL naming with previous data for spoken English for a subset of 425 pictures. Deaf ASL signers named object pictures faster and more consistently than action pictures, as previously reported for English speakers. Lexical frequency, iconicity, better name agreement, and lower phonological complexity each facilitated naming reaction times (RT)s. RTs were also faster for pictures named with shorter signs (measured by average response duration). Target name agreement was higher for pictures with more iconic and shorter ASL names. The visual complexity of pictures slowed RTs and decreased target name agreement. RTs and target name agreement were correlated for ASL and English, but agreement was lower for ASL, possibly due to the English bias of the pictures. RTs were faster for ASL, which we attributed to a smaller lexicon. Overall, the results suggest that models of lexical retrieval developed for spoken languages can be adopted for signed languages, with the exception that iconicity should be included as a factor. The open-source picture-naming data set for ASL serves as an important, first-of-its-kind resource for researchers, educators, or clinicians for a variety of research, instructional, or assessment purposes.
