字母拼写法中的视觉单词识别的大多数模型假设单词根据拼写相似性在词汇上组织。支持这一点的形式启动实验,证明强大的促进时,素数和目标共享类似的字母序列。作者研究了希伯来语,阿拉伯语和英语的形式正字法启动效应。希伯来语和阿拉伯语有一个字母书写系统,但闪族的形态结构。希伯来语的语素单位是由给定单词中的非连续音素(和字母)序列组成的。结果表明,希伯来语或阿拉伯语的形式启动效应是不可靠的。而具有最小字母重叠的形态启动效应是稳健的。希伯来语双语科目,相比之下,表现出强大的形式启动效应与英语材料,这表明,闪米特语单词的词汇组织形态,而不是正字法的原则。作者的结论是,形态可以限制词汇组织,即使在字母拼写法和视觉加工的单词首先是由形态特征。
Most models of visual word recognition in alphabetic orthographies assume that words are lexically organized according to orthographic similarity. Support for this is provided by form-priming experiments that demonstrate robust facilitation when primes and targets share similar sequences of letters. The authors examined form-orthographic priming effects in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. Hebrew and Arabic have an alphabetic writing system but a Semitic morphological structure. Hebrew morphemic units are composed of noncontiguous phonemic (and letter) sequences in a given word. Results demonstrate that form-priming effects in Hebrew or Arabic are unreliable. whereas morphological priming effects with minimal letter overlap are robust. Hebrew bilingual subjects, by contrast, showed robust form-priming effects with English material, suggesting that Semitic words are lexically organized by morphological rather than orthographic principles. The authors conclude that morphology can constrain lexical organization even in alphabetic orthographies and that visual processing of words is first determined by morphological characteristics.
