摘要

透過詞優與詞劣效果的實驗，本研究試圖了解，在閱讀時，辨識中文詞的歷程。實驗一發現詞頻與詞的長度會影響詞的朗讀時間:高頻詞的反應時間比低類詞快，低類詞又比非詞快；雙字詞的反應時間比四字詞快。實驗二進一步發現，朗讀一個詞之第一個字的時間也會受到詞頻與詞的長度影響。實驗三發現在閱讀一篇含有反覆詞與反置非詞的文章時，受試者往往會忽略反置詞的存在。這些實驗發現支持中文詞的辨識是一個多層次的閱讀歷程。

Word Superiority and Inferiority Effect： A Study of Chinese Word Recognition

Chih-Wen Hue（National Taiwan University）

Abstract

In three experiments, Chinese word（multiple-character term）superiority and inferiority effects were investigated. Experiment 1 found significant effects of term frequency and length on naming latencies of the stimulus terms. Experiment 2 found similar effects of these veriables on naming the first characters of the stimulus terms. Using a modified letter derection task, Experiment 3 found that the probability that the inverted meaningless terms embedded in a text were detected was higher than that of the inverted meaningful terms. An interactive model of word recognition was proposed to account for the results of these experiments.
