Investigations of the impact of morphemic boundaries on transposed-letter priming effects have yielded conflicting results. Five masked priming lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine the interaction of letter transpositions and morphemic boundaries with English suffixed derivations. Experiments 1-3 found that responses to monomorphemic target words (e.g., SPEAK) were facilitated to the same extent by morphologically related primes containing letter transpositions that did (SPEAEKR) or did not (SPEKAER) cross a morphemic boundary. This pattern was also observed in Experiments 4 and 5, in which the targets (e.g. SPEAKER) were the base forms of the transposed-letter primes. Thus, in these experiments the influence of the morphological structure of a transposed-letter prime did not depend on whether the letter transposition crossed a morphological boundary.
关于词素边界对换位字母启动效应影响的研究得出了相互矛盾的结果。进行了五项掩蔽启动词汇判断实验,以检验字母换位与词素边界在英语后缀派生词中的相互作用。实验1至3发现,对于单语素目标词(如SPEAK),包含换位字母且(SPEAEKR)或未(SPEKAER)跨越词素边界的形态相关启动词对其反应的促进程度相同。在实验4和5中也观察到了这种模式,其中目标词(如SPEAKER)是换位字母启动词的基本形式。因此,在这些实验中,换位字母启动词的形态结构的影响并不取决于字母换位是否跨越形态边界。
