With use of a tape-recorded auditory method of stimulus presentation, 112 undergraduates were required to identify the tonal concepts of high and low when these concepts were symbolically coded both in terms of high and low pitches of voice and by the spoken words "high" and "low." Trials consisted of 44-item sequential identifications of the concepts. Results were consistent with those in other realms. With use of a speeded accuracy criterion, findings were that Ss could identify the concepts faster from word symbols than from pitch symbols and faster from the two types of symbol information correctly matched than from either component type alone. More interference was produced when half of the symbols on a trial were mismatched and the other half matched than when all of the symbols were mismatched. Interference effects in both directions were found, but there was a larger interference of words on pitch than of pitch on words.
采用磁带录音的听觉刺激呈现方法，要求112名本科生在高低音调概念通过语音的高低音以及“高”和“低”这两个口语词汇进行符号编码时，识别高和低的音调概念。试验包括对这些概念进行44项的顺序识别。结果与其他领域的结果一致。采用速度准确性标准时，研究结果表明，与音高符号相比，被试从单词符号中能更快地识别概念，并且与单独的任何一种符号信息相比，从两种类型的符号信息正确匹配时能更快地识别概念。当一次试验中一半的符号不匹配而另一半匹配时，产生的干扰比所有符号都不匹配时更大。发现了两个方向的干扰效应，但单词对音高的干扰比对单词的音高干扰更大。
