由于自上而下的影响,句子中的拼写错误通常很容易被读者理解。尽管自上而下的处理允许流畅地阅读拼写错误的项目,但它们在记忆中的表征性质尚不清楚。如果拼写错误的表现与拼写正确的表现不同,它们的影响应该在后来的识别决策中看到。在这组实验中,参与者阅读嵌入在句子中的单词和拼写错误,然后进行识别测试。这些句子包含语义偏颇或中立的语境。在实验1中,通过删除单个字母(例如,driveway)来产生拼写错误。在实验2中,识别项目探针以大写字母呈现(例如,DRVEWAY),以减少研究和测试项目之间的视觉相似性。在实验3中,通过替换视觉上相似的字母(例如,driweway)来产生拼写错误。与之前的实验相反,在实验4中,参与者被明确告知记忆测试,以了解反应策略如何影响表现。总的来说,结果表明人们保留了关于拼写错误的表面特征信息,这些信息似乎可以为他们的记忆判断提供信息,并且这些信息的处理不能被策略控制。
Misspellings in sentences are usually easy to understand by readers due to top–down influences. Although top–down processing allows for fluent reading of misspelled items, the nature of their representations in memory is not known. If representations of misspellings are distinct from representations of correctly spelled words, their influence should be seen in later recognition decisions. In this set of experiments, participants read words and misspellings embedded in sentences and were later given a recognition test. The sentences contained semantically biased or neutral contexts. In Experiment 1, misspellings were created by removing a single letter (e.g.,drveway). In Experiment 2, the recognition items probes were presented in uppercase letters (e.g.,DRVEWAY) to reduce the visual similarity between study and test items. In Experiment 3, the misspellings were created by substituting visually similar letters (e.g.,driweway). In contrast to the previous experiments, in Experiment 4, participants were explicitly told about the memory test to see how response strategies affect performance. Overall, the results indicate that people retain surface feature information about misspellings which seem to inform their memory judgments, and that the processing of this information cannot be strategically controlled.
