Results from a megastudy on conditional reading aloud for 2,145 monosyllabic words are reported. In stepwise regression analyses, the predictor variables accounted for over 66% of the reaction time (RT) variance. Linear mixed effect modelling on log RT indicated that every variable that related to RT in either reading aloud or lexical decision also related to RT in conditional reading aloud. Notably, differences among tasks were observed. Specifically, lexical decision showed stronger reliance on semantic information than the other two tasks, but conditional reading aloud also showed strong reliance on semantic information. Interestingly, feedback consistency affected reading aloud and conditional reading but not lexical decision. Pairwise correlations revealed that conditional reading aloud performance showed moderately strong relationships to lexical decision and reading aloud performance, whereas reading aloud and lexical decision performance were weakly related to each other. Conditional reading aloud produces reliable data that can be used to examine word processing. Theoretical challenges moving forward include how to best conceptualise and model processes involved in this task.
报告了一项关于对2145个单音节词进行条件性大声朗读的大型研究结果。在逐步回归分析中,预测变量解释了超过66%的反应时间(RT)方差。对对数RT进行的线性混合效应建模表明,在大声朗读或词汇判断中与RT相关的每个变量在条件性大声朗读中也与RT相关。值得注意的是,观察到了任务之间的差异。具体而言,词汇判断比其他两项任务更依赖语义信息,但条件性大声朗读也表现出对语义信息的强烈依赖。有趣的是,反馈一致性影响大声朗读和条件性朗读,但不影响词汇判断。成对相关性显示,条件性大声朗读表现与词汇判断和大声朗读表现呈中度强相关,而大声朗读和词汇判断表现彼此之间相关性较弱。条件性大声朗读产生可用于检查单词处理的可靠数据。未来的理论挑战包括如何最好地概念化和建模此任务中涉及的过程。
