According to current models, spoken word recognition is driven by the phonological properties of the speech signal. However, several studies have suggested that orthographic information also influences recognition in adult listeners. In particular, it has been repeatedly shown that, in the lexical decision task, words that include rimes with inconsistent spellings (e.g., /-ip/ spelled -eap or -eep) are disadvantaged, as compared with words with consistent rime spelling. In the present study, we explored whether the orthographic consistency effect extends to tasks requiring people to process words beyond simple lexical access. Two different tasks were used: semantic and gender categorization. Both tasks produced reliable consistency effects. The data are discussed as suggesting that orthographic codes are activated during word recognition, or that the organization of phonological representations of words is affected by orthography during literacy acquisition.
根据当前模型，口语单词识别由语音信号的音系属性驱动。然而，多项研究表明，正字法信息也会影响成年听众的识别。具体而言，反复有研究表明，在词汇判断任务中，与韵脚拼写一致的单词相比，包含拼写不一致韵脚（例如，/-ip/拼写成-eap或-eep）的单词处于劣势。在本研究中，我们探究了正字法一致性效应是否会扩展到要求人们处理单词而非简单词汇提取的任务中。我们使用了两种不同的任务：语义分类和性别分类。两项任务均产生了可靠的一致性效应。对这些数据的讨论表明，在单词识别过程中正字法编码被激活，或者在读写能力习得过程中单词的音系表征组织受到正字法的影响。
