语音的自动激活及其在汉字语义通达中的作用

Automatic Phonological Activation and its Role in Access the Meaning Of Chinese Character

:采用Stroop实验范式及其变式研究了语音的自动激活及其在汉字语义通达中的作用。在实验一中,要求被试大声读出汉字的颜色,除了获得经典的Stroop促进效应之外,结果还发现:当汉字颜色对应的读音与汉字读音一致(如红色的"洪"字)时,被试的反应会显著加快。在实验二中,要求被试判断汉字的颜色并按下相应的键,得到了与实验一相似的结果模式。这些结果表明,语音在汉字的识别过程中是自动激活的,并且有助于语义通达。

The Stroop paradigm and its variation were used to investigate Automatic Phonological activation and its role in access to the meaning of Chinese characters. In the first experiment, subjects were asked to name the display color of Chinese characters. Beside the usual Stroop effects, the facilitation effects from homophones were also obtained. In the second experiment, subjects identified the display color of the words by pressing one of four corresponding keys using the index and middle fingers of the right and left hands, similar results were found. These findings suggested that phonological codes are activated automatically and played an important role in reading Chinese character for the meaning.
