摘要: 字母语言系统中,词内字母逐级加黑和系列呈现等视觉因素对转换字母效应的影响已受到相关研究关注,但中文转换字符效应是否受这些视觉因素调节尚不清楚。本研究采用单一呈现词汇判断任务对真词、转换假词和替换假词进行视觉特征操作,实验1为词内汉字一致或逐级加黑,实验2为词内汉字同时呈现或系列呈现来探究这些视觉因素对中文转换字符效应的影响。研究结果表明:词内汉字逐级加黑对中文转换字符效应不具有显著调节作用,而系列呈现使得转换字符效应显著减小,原因可能是系列呈现时汉字身份信息加工更加灵活,这反映了中文汉字系统特点;中文转换字符效应稳定存在表明它可能主要受语言因素影响。研究结果将推动中文阅读核心加工机制及中文阅读模型等相关理论发展,并对提高中文词汇识别学习效率和阅读理解能力具有重要启示。

Abstract: In alphabetic languages, the influence of visual factors such as grading black and serially presenting letters within words, on the transposed-letter effect has gained the attention in relevant studies. However, whether the transposed-character effect is modulated by these visual factors remains unclear. In this study, we conducted two experiments using a single-presentation lexical decision task with real words, transposed-character pseudowords, and substituted-letter pseudowords, manipulating the visual features of the stimuli. In Experiment 1, the characters within words were either monochromatic or grading black. In Experiment 2, the characters were presented either simultaneously or serially, character by character. The results showed that grading black characters did not significantly modulate the transposed-character effect, while serial presentation of characters significantly reduced the transposed-character effect. This is likely due to the increased flexibility in character identity processing under this condition, which reflects the unique characteristics of the Chinese character system. The stable presence of the transposed-character effect suggests that it may be primarily influenced by linguistic factors. These findings will promote the development of related theories like the core processing mechanism of Chinese reading and the Chinese reading model, as well as will provide important insights for improving the learning efficiency of Chinese vocabulary recognition and reading comprehension.
