言语信息激活对中文数字空间表征的影响

The Impact of Verbal Information on the Spatial Representation of Chinese Verbal Numbers

为了考察言语信息激活对中文数字空间表征的影响,采用含有中文数字的汉语词(如"二胡")作为实验刺激,让被试对其中的中文数字分别做奇偶判断和大小判断。实验结果发现:(1)在奇偶判断任务下,激活中文数字的言语信息,没有产生空间—数字反应编码联合效应(SNARC效应);(2)在大小判断任务下,激活中文数字的言语信息,产生了显著的SNARC效应。实验结果表明,在奇偶判断任务下,如果激活中文数字的言语信息,中文数字不会进行空间表征。而在大小判断任务下,如果激活中文数字的言语信息,则不会对中文数字的空间表征产生影响。

In order to investigate the impact of verbal information on the spatial representation of Chinese verbal numbers, several Chinese words containing Chinese verbal numbers （e.g. ＂二胡 ＂） are taken as experimental stimulus, and subjects are required to judge the parity and magnitude of the numbers. The results show that no SNARC effect turns out in the parity judgment task upon the activation of verbal information of Chinese verbal numbers while SNARC effect stands out in magnitude judgment task. And these results suggest that Chinese verbal numbers are not represented with spatial codes in parity judgment task when their verbal information is activated, and that the spatial representation of Chinese verbal numbers can not be affected in magnitude judgment task by the activation of verbal information.
