We use a masked priming procedure to test two accounts of the picture-word interference (PWI) effect: the lexical selection by competition account (Levelt et al., 1999; Roelofs, 1992) and the response selection account (Lupker, 1979; Miozzo and Caramazza, 2003). In the visible (standard) condition, we replicated the often-observed semantic interference effect. In the masked condition, we observed semantic facilitation. We take the polarity shift as a function of masking to mean that the semantic interference and semantic facilitation in the PWI task should be attributed to two qualitatively different processes. We argue that this conclusion follows naturally from the response selection account, but only with great difficulty from the lexical selection by competition account.
我们采用一种掩蔽启动程序来检验关于图词干扰(PWI)效应的两种解释:竞争驱动的词汇选择解释(Levelt等人,1999年;Roelofs,1992年)和反应选择解释(Lupker,1979年;Miozzo和Caramazza,2003年)。在可见(标准)条件下,我们重现了经常观察到的语义干扰效应。在掩蔽条件下,我们观察到了语义促进作用。我们将极性转换作为掩蔽的一个函数,这意味着PWI任务中的语义干扰和语义促进应归因于两个性质不同的过程。我们认为,这一结论从反应选择解释中自然得出,但从竞争驱动的词汇选择解释中得出则困难重重。
