Three experiments asked whether subjects could retrieve information from a 2nd stimulus while they retrieved information from a 1st stimulus. Subjects performed recognition judgments on each of 2 words that followed each other by 0, 250, and 1,000 ms (Experiment 1) or 0 and 300 ms (Experiments 2 and 3). In each experiment, reaction time to both stimuli was faster when the 2 stimuli were both targets (on the study list) or both lures (not on the study list) than when 1 was a target and the other was a lure. Each experiment found priming from the 2nd stimulus to the 1st when both stimuli were targets. Reaction time to the 1st stimulus was faster when the 2 targets came from the same memory structure at study (columns in Experiment 1; pairs in Experiment 2; sentences in Experiment 3) than when they came from different structures. This priming is inconsistent with discrete serial retrieval and consistent with parallel retrieval.
三项实验探究了被试在从第一个刺激中提取信息时,是否能够从第二个刺激中提取信息。被试对两个相继出现的单词进行识别判断,相继时间间隔分别为0、250和1000毫秒(实验1)或0和300毫秒(实验2和3)。在每个实验中,当两个刺激都是目标(在学习列表上)或都是诱饵(不在学习列表上)时,对两个刺激的反应时间比一个是目标而另一个是诱饵时更快。每个实验都发现,当两个刺激都是目标时,存在从第二个刺激到第一个刺激的启动效应。当两个目标在学习时来自相同的记忆结构(实验1中的列;实验2中的对;实验3中的句子)时,对第一个刺激的反应时间比它们来自不同结构时更快。这种启动效应与离散序列提取不一致,而与并行提取一致。
