In this study, we examined the difference in the processing of one’s own name and other people’s names using a mental rotation task. In Experiment 1, the observer’s own name and other common names were presented visually. In Experiment 2, the observer’s name and the names of people who were familiar to the observer were presented. The observer saw the name and judged whether it was mirror-reversed or not. The results show that reaction times and error rates were shorter, when the observer processed his/her own name compared to when processing others names. These findings might be due to peculiarities and familiarity of one’s own name.
在本研究中，我们使用心理旋转任务来检验处理自己名字和他人名字时的差异。在实验1中，视觉呈现观察者自己的名字和其他常用名字。在实验2中，呈现观察者的名字以及观察者熟悉的人的名字。观察者看到名字后判断它是否是镜像反转的。结果表明，与处理他人名字相比，观察者处理自己名字时的反应时间更短，错误率更低。这些发现可能归因于自己名字的独特性和熟悉度。
