摘要

在本研究中，中英雙語者對連續呈現的類名和項目進行語意類別判斷的工作。部分的類別項目配對在實驗中不會重複出現，但其他的配對則會以相同的語文（語文內狀況）或不同語文（語文間狀況）重複出現。重複時的間距可能從零至三個中介嘗試。結果發現在不同的間距狀況下都有語文內的幫助效應出現，而語文間的幫助效應則僅在零間距的情況下才出現。這些結果支持 Kirsner, Smoth, Lockhart 和 King（1984）的假設：心理辭彙的刺激活動持效較長，但是概念表徵的刺激則維持時效較短。

Between- And Within-Language Repetition Effects In Bilinguals

Abstract

Chinese-English bilinguals were shown category and item names successively and were required to perform semantic category judgment. Some category-item pairs were never repeated in the experiment（the control condition）, but others were re. peated either in the same language（the within-language condition） or in the different languages（the between-language condition）. The lag of repetition was varied from zero to three intervening trials. Within-language facilitation effects were demonstrated in different lag conditions, whereas between-language facilitation effects were only found in the lag-0 conditions. The results support the hypothesis of Kirsner, Smith, Lockhart, and King（1984）, that lexical activation is relatively persistent, but activation among conceptual representations is very transient.
