In three experiments, we examined feedforward and feedback consistency effects in word recognition. Feedforward consistency is the degree to which a word's pronunciation is consistent with that of similarly spelled words, and feedback consistency refers to whether there is more than one way to spell a pronunciation. Previously, Stone, Vanhoy, and Van Orden (1997) reported feedforward and feedback consistency effects for low-frequency words in a lexical decision task. We investigated the effect of feedforward and feedback consistency for both high- and low-frequency words in lexical decision and naming. In both tasks, we found that feedforward and feedback inconsistent words were processed more slowly than consistent words, regardless of word frequency. These findings indicate that both types of consistency are involved in visual word recognition.
在三个实验中，我们研究了单词识别中的前馈一致性和反馈一致性效应。前馈一致性是指一个单词的发音与拼写相似的单词发音的一致程度，而反馈一致性是指一种发音是否有不止一种拼写方式。此前，斯通、万霍伊和范·奥登（1997年）在词汇判断任务中报告了低频单词的前馈和反馈一致性效应。我们研究了前馈和反馈一致性对词汇判断和命名任务中高频和低频单词的影响。在这两个任务中，我们发现，无论单词频率如何，前馈和反馈不一致的单词比一致的单词处理得更慢。这些发现表明，这两种一致性都参与了视觉单词识别。
