量词加工中视觉形状信息的激活研究

The Activation of Visual Shape Information in the Processing of Measure Word

本研究采用启动范式,以名词图片(实验1)与简单形状图片(实验2)作为启动刺激,通过2个实验,考察了量词加工过程中视觉形状信息的激活。结果表明,无论是在名词图片还是简单形状图片的启动条件下,均出现了启动图片的形状信息与量词加工的形状信息一致的反应时快于不一致。并且,激活的视觉形状信息相同的量词其反应时不存在差异。整个研究表明,在量词加工过程中存在视觉形状信息的激活。并且,量词的表征系统具有一定程度的相对独立性。

In the present study, we used the noun pictures （experiment 1） and simple shape pictures（experiment 2）as priming stimulus, and via priming paradigm to test the activation of visual shape infor-mation in the processing of measure word. The results suggested that when the primed shape information was the same with the measure word＇s shape information during the processing, a faster response ap-peared. What＇s more, there was no difference between the measure words which contain same visual shape information. Tile results supported the notion that the visual shape infbrmation was activated in the pro- cessing of measure word, and to some extend, the representation system of measure word was relative in-dependence.
