Marsolek et al. (2006) have differentiated antipriming effects from priming effects, by adopting a novel priming paradigm comprised of four phases that include a baseline measurement. The general concept of antipriming supports the overlapping representation theory of knowledge. This study extended examination of the Marsolek et al. (2006) paradigm by investigating antipriming and priming effects in a series of Chinese character identification tasks. Results showed that identification accuracy of old characters was significantly higher than baseline measurements (i.e., the priming effect), while identification accuracy of novel characters was significantly lower than baseline measurements (i.e., the antipriming effect). This study demonstrates for the first time the effect of visual antipriming in Chinese character identification. It further provides new evidence for the overlapping representation theory of knowledge, and supports generalizability of the phenomenon to Chinese characters.
马索莱克等人（2006年）通过采用一种由四个阶段组成且包含基线测量的新型启动范式，区分了反启动效应和启动效应。反启动的一般概念支持知识的重叠表征理论。本研究通过在一系列汉字识别任务中研究反启动和启动效应，扩展了对马索莱克等人（2006年）范式的考察。结果表明，旧汉字的识别准确率显著高于基线测量（即启动效应），而新汉字的识别准确率显著低于基线测量（即反启动效应）。本研究首次证明了视觉反启动在汉字识别中的作用。它进一步为知识的重叠表征理论提供了新证据，并支持了该现象对汉字的可推广性。
