词汇习得年龄和频率对词汇识别的影响

The Effect of Age of Word Acquisition and Frequency on the Identification of Chinese Double-Character Words

三个实验考察词汇习得年龄和频率在词汇识别中的作用。实验结果表明 :词汇习得年龄是影响汉语双字词词汇识别的重要因素 ,表现为早期习得的词汇比晚期习得的词汇更具有加工的优势。词汇习得年龄和频率独立地影响汉语双字词的识别过程 ,它们之间的效应是一种相加的关系。本研究还对词汇习得年龄效应的机制进行了讨论。

Three experiments were made to investigate the effects of the rated age of word acquisition (AoA) and word frequency on the identification of Chinese double character words. The results suggest that (1) AoA is an important factor that influences the recognition of Chinese double character words; (2) AoA and frequency independently affect the identification of Chinese double character words and their effects are additive; (3) the AoA effects may not only result from the phonological processing but also from the the semantic processing of words.
