Most empirical work investigating the role of syllable frequency in visual word recognition has focused on the Spanish language, in which syllable frequency seems to produce a classic dissociation: inhibition in lexical decision tasks but facilitation in naming. In the present study, two experiments were run in German, using identical stimulus materials, in a lexical decision task and a naming task. In both tasks, there was an inhibitory effect for words with a high-frequency first syllable. This pattern of results, suggesting a stronger weight of lexical access in the naming process in German than in Spanish, is discussed with regard to the issue of stress assignment in the two languages and within the framework of word production models. Items, mean response latencies, and accuracy rates per item for both experiments can be downloaded from www.psychonomic.org/archive.
大多数研究音节频率在视觉单词识别中作用的实证研究都集中在西班牙语上,在西班牙语中,音节频率似乎产生了一种经典的分离现象:在词汇判断任务中产生抑制作用,但在命名任务中产生促进作用。在本研究中,我们在德语环境下进行了两项实验,使用相同的刺激材料,分别进行词汇判断任务和命名任务。在这两项任务中,首音节高频的单词均产生了抑制作用。本文结合两种语言的重音分配问题以及单词生成模型的框架,对这一结果模式进行了讨论,该结果模式表明德语命名过程中词汇通达的权重比西班牙语更强。两个实验的项目、平均反应潜伏期和每个项目的准确率可从www.psychonomic.org/archive下载。
