PHONOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN WORD RECOGNITION

一系列的十个实验计划将在 训练期。这些实验是基于最近的一个现象 候选人发现的。这一现象与“反馈”有关 不一致的词，如甜食和款待，这些词分享了他们的 音系体，但它们的拼音体不同。这个 候选人和她的博士生导师已经展示了反馈 不一致的单词更难识别(在词汇判断任务中) 而不是反馈一致的词语。这一现象与 候选者将其称为传统的“前馈一致性 Effect，在这些词中，其拼音体可以被发音 不止一种方式(例如，品脱和薄荷)比 其正字母体只能以一种方式发音的单词(例如， 地球仪和探测器)。最近发现的反馈现象 影响视觉单词识别的不一致性是一个引人注目的问题 展示音韵学在阅读中的作用。此外， 识别这些反馈不一致的单词有助于澄清通常 报告的其他音系学效应的微弱发现 文献(可能归因于未能控制这些 先前实验中的项目类型)。

A series of ten experiments is proposed to be conducted during the training period. These experiments are based on a phenomenon recently discovered by the candidate. The phenomenon involves "feedback inconsistent" words, such as SWEET and TREAT, which share their phonological bodies but differ in their orthographic bodies. The candidate and her doctoral advisor have shown that feedback inconsistent words are harder to recognize (in a lexical decision task) than are feedback consistent words. This phenomenon parallels what the candidate refers to as the traditional "feedforward consistency effect," in which words whose orthographic bodies can be pronounced more than one way (e.g., PINT and MINT) are harder to recognize than words whose orthographic bodies can only be pronounced one way (e.g., GLOBE and PROBE). The recently discovered phenomenon of feedback inconsistency affecting visual word recognition is a striking demonstration of the role of phonology in reading. Moreover, identifying these feedback inconsistent words helps clarify the often tenuous finding of other phonological effects reported in the literature (perhaps attributable to a failure to control for these types of items in previous experiments).
