This study investigated the role of the syllable in visual recognition of French words. The syllable congruency procedure was combined with masked priming in the lexical-decision task (Experiments 1 and 3) and the naming task (Experiment 2). Target words were preceded by a nonword prime sharing the first three letters that either corresponded to the syllable (congruent condition), or not (incongruent condition). When primes were displayed for 67 ms, similar results were found in both the lexical decision and the naming tasks. Consonant-vowel targets such as BA.LANCE were recognised more rapidly in the congruent condition than in the incongruent and control conditions, while consonant-vowel-consonant targets such as BAL.CON were recognised more rapidly in the congruent and incongruent conditions than in the control condition. When a 43-ms SOA was used in the lexical-decision task, no significant priming effect was obtained. The results are discussed in an interactive-activation model incorporating syllable units.
本研究调查了音节在法语单词视觉识别中的作用。在词汇判断任务（实验1和3）和命名任务（实验2）中，将音节一致性程序与掩蔽启动相结合。目标词之前是一个非词启动词，该启动词共享前三个字母，要么与音节相对应（一致条件），要么不对应（不一致条件）。当启动词显示67毫秒时，在词汇判断和命名任务中都发现了类似的结果。像BA.LANCE这样的辅音-元音目标词在一致条件下比在不一致和控制条件下被更快地识别，而像BAL.CON这样的辅音-元音-辅音目标词在一致和不一致条件下比在控制条件下被更快地识别。当在词汇判断任务中使用43毫秒的刺激呈现间隔（SOA）时，未获得显著的启动效应。研究结果在一个包含音节单元的交互式激活模型中进行了讨论。
