Many pairs of words in Spanish, in particular many verbal forms, differ only in the syllable stressed, such as aNImo (I encourage) and aniMÓ (he encouraged). Consequently, word stress may acquire a lexical contrastive value that has been confirmed by Dupoux, Pallier, Sebastian, and Mehler (1997) for Spanish speakers though not for French speakers in auditory perception.
This study contrasts the priming effect produced by pairs of written words that differ only in their stress pattern with the priming effect in repetition priming, stress only priming (with no orthographic relation), and morphological priming, in visual word recognition.
The results, using short and masked prime presentation, showed facilitation for different stress (orthographically identical) pairs (rasGÓ/RASgo) compared to totally unrelated pairs (rasGÓ/RASgo) but no facilitation compared to orthographically unrelated (but stress related) pairs (PERsa/RASgo). However, identity pairs (RASgo-RASgo) produced facilitation compared to both orthographically unrelated conditions. At long SOA, orthographically related (stress unrelated) pairs produced significant facilitation, as occurred with morphologically related pairs (RASga/RASgo), on the orthographically unrelated words (PERsa/RASgo).
These results confirm the early and prelexical importance of word stress for lexical selection in Spanish, as is the case with orthographic and phonological features.
西班牙语中有许多对单词，尤其是许多动词形式，仅在重读音节上有所不同，例如 aNImo（我鼓励）和 aniMÓ（他鼓励）。因此，词重音可能会获得词汇对比的价值，这一点已被 Dupoux、Pallier、Sebastian 和 Mehler（1997 年）在西班牙语使用者的听觉感知中得到证实，但在法语使用者中尚未得到证实。
本研究在视觉词汇识别中，对比了仅在重音模式上存在差异的成对书写单词的启动效应与重复启动、仅重音启动（没有拼字关系）和形态启动的启动效应。
使用短且掩蔽的启动呈现，结果表明，与完全不相关的单词对（rasGÓ/RASgo）相比，不同重音（拼字相同）的单词对（rasGÓ/RASgo）产生了促进作用，但与拼字不相关（但重音相关）的单词对（PERsa/RASgo）相比则没有促进作用。然而，身份单词对（RASgo-RASgo）与两种拼字无关的条件相比产生了促进作用。在长 SOA 下，与形态相关的单词对（RASga/RASgo）一样，拼字相关（重音无关）的单词对在拼字无关的单词上产生了显著的促进作用（PERsa/RASgo）。
这些结果证实了在西班牙语中，词重音对于词汇选择的早期和词前重要性，就像拼字和语音特征一样。
