A STUDY OF INFORMATION PROCESSING IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE: A COMPARISON BETWEEN KANJI AND KANA

我们比较了三种日语正字法中的Stroop现象：汉字汉字，语音音节片假名和罗马化，以检验邓巴的自然语言假说。假设阅读速度越慢，颜色命名条件下的Stroop效应越小。相反，在单词阅读条件下，慢速字符的逆Stroop效应更大。在分组测试中，我们测量了干扰匹配颜色和Stroop刺激的数量。共准备25名受试者。单词阅读情况：在黑体字中，汉字的干扰量最大，从片假名到罗马化的干扰量减少。所有人物都出现了逆斯特鲁普现象。干扰量小于言语反应条件下的干扰量。然而，日本汉字和片假名之间的干扰仍然相当多。颜色命名条件：干扰量小于言语反应条件。Stroop效应仅在片假名中发现。日本汉字和片假名之间的相对干扰量发生了逆转。这样，我们在汉字的Stroop效应和逆Stroop效应中都找不到邓巴假设的预测。

We compared Stroop phenomena in the three orthographies of Japanese: Chinese character Kanji,the phonetic syllabary Katakana and romanization to check Dunbar's hypothesis natural language. It assume that the slower reading speed is, the smaller amount of Stroop effect in the color naming condition. To the contrary reverse Stroop effect is larger in slow reading speed character in the word reading condition. We measured amount of interference matching color and Stroop stimuli in group test. 25 subjects were prepared. Word reading condition: In black letter, the amount of interference was highest in the case of Kanji and decreased from Katakana to romanization. The reverse Stroop phenomena was found in all characters. Amounts of interference were smaller than in that of verbal response condition. However comparative amount of interference between Kanji and Katakana was kept. Color naming condition: The amounts of interference were smaller than verbal response condition. Stroop effect was found only in Katakana. The comparative amount of interference between Kanji and Katakana reversed. In this manner, we could not find prediction from Dunbar's hypothesis in both Stroop effect and reverse Stroop effect in Kanji.
