在四个实验中研究了添加和删除邻居对视觉单词识别的影响。实验 1 和 2 使用西班牙语刺激。在实验 1 中，相对于控制刺激，对于具有较高频率删除邻居的单词和非单词（例如，juzgar 中的 jugar），词汇决策延迟较慢且不太准确。实验 2 显示，相对于控制刺激，具有高频附加邻居的单词和非单词（例如，conejo，具有附加邻居 consejo）具有类似的干扰效果。实验 3 在英语刺激的词汇决策实验中复制了这种加法邻居干扰效应。在所有三个实验中，对于具有词外重叠的添加/删除邻居来说，干扰效应总是很明显，通常出现在词首重叠的情况下，但不会出现在词尾重叠的情况下。实验 4 在西班牙语句子阅读任务中复制了添加/删除邻居抑制效果，其中监测了参与者的眼球运动。这些发现表明传统的正交邻域度量应该重新定义。除了其方法论意义外，这一结论对于输入编码方案和单词识别的机制也具有重要的理论意义。
The influence of addition and deletion neighbors on visual word identification was investigated in four experiments. Experiments 1 and 2 used Spanish stimuli. In Experiment 1, lexical decision latencies were slower and less accurate for words and nonwords with higher-frequency deletion neighbors (e.g., jugar in juzgar), relative to control stimuli. Experiment 2 showed a similar interference effect for words and nonwords with higher-frequency addition neighbors (e.g., conejo, which has the addition neighbor consejo), relative to control stimuli. Experiment 3 replicated this addition neighbor interference effect in a lexical decision experiment with English stimuli. Across all three experiments, interference effects were always evident for addition/deletion neighbors with word-outer overlap, usually present for those with word-initial overlap, but never present for those with word-final overlap. Experiment 4 replicated the addition/deletion neighbor inhibitory effects in a Spanish sentence reading task in which the participants' eye movements were monitored. These findings suggest that conventional orthographic neighborhood metrics should be redefined. In addition to its methodological implications, this conclusion has significant theoretical implications for input coding schemes and the mechanisms underlying word recognition.
