工作记忆和句法复杂性对汉语判断单句的影响

The Effects of Working Memory and Syntactic Complexity on Chinese Sentence Processing

采用自控步速移动窗口技术,研究了言语工作记忆与句法复杂性对汉语判断单句加工的影响。实验结果表明:汉语判断单句语义提取和命题表征受句法复杂性和言语工作记忆容量的影响;加工模式上,结构相同但句法难度不同的判断单句存在相同的语义焦点;句子-图片验证过程中,高容量者受句法难度、语义失配影响较小,验证时间显著短于低容量者。

With the moving window technique, the experiment studied the influence of working memory and syntactic complexity in the process of Chinese sentence comprehension. The results showed that syntactic complexity and language working memory capacity affected semantic acquirement and propositional representation. Although different in syntactic complexity, sentences with the same structure also have the same semantic focus. Syntactic complexity and semantic mismatching have some influence on people with high working memory capacity. Generally, they take less time to comprehend and validate sentences.
