再探汉字加工中语音、语义激活的相对时间进程(5)
Abstract
The relative time course of phonological and semantic activation in reading Chinese characters was investigated, following up the study of Zhou and Marslen-Wilson (2000). A primed lexical decision task and a primed naming task were used in which a target character was preceded by a semantically related character, a homophonic character, or their matched unrelated characters. The stimuli were differentiated into two groups according to whether the homophone primes were phonologically "regular" characters that contains phonetic radicals pronounced in the same way as the whole characters, or "irregular" characters that contains phonetic radicals pronounced in different ways. In lexical decision, semantic priming effects were found at both the short (57ms) and long (200ms) SOAs, while the homophone priming effects were found only at the long SOA. The phonological regularity of the homophone primes had no influence on the pattern of priming effects. In naming, semantic and phonological priming effects were found at both SOAs, with no different for the two effects at the long SOA. At the short SOA, however, regular homophone primes produced a larger effect than the semantic effect while irregular homophone primes produced an equal effect as the semantic primes. It was argued that in skilled reading of Chinese, phonological information is not activated earlier than semantic information and phonological activation is not the precondition for semantic activation; but the relative time course of the activation of different types of information can be varied by task demand and by the characteristics and composition of stimuli.
Key words chinese character processing, semantic activation, phonological activation, time course, lexical decision, naming.
