This research reports the development and evaluation of a Korean Author Recognition Test (KART), designed as a measure of print exposure among young adults. Based on the original, English-language version of the Author Recognition Test (ART), the KART demonstrates significant relationships with offline measures of language ability, as well as online measures of word recognition. In particular, KART scores were related to participants' responses on the Comparative Reading Habits (CRH) checklist, suggesting that KART is a valid measure of print exposure. In addition, KART scores showed reliable correlations with offline measures of vocabulary knowledge and language comprehension. Finally, results from a lexical decision task showed that KART scores modulated the magnitude of the word familiarity effect, such that the effect was smaller for participants with higher KART scores The results suggest that the ART is a language-universal task that measures print exposure, which is useful for explaining individual differences in language comprehension abilities and word recognition processes.
本研究报告了韩国作者识别测试(KART)的开发与评估情况,该测试旨在衡量年轻人的印刷品接触程度。基于作者识别测试(ART)的原始英文版本,KART与语言能力的线下测量以及单词识别的线上测量均显示出显著关系。特别是,KART分数与参与者在比较阅读习惯(CRH)清单上的回答相关,这表明KART是印刷品接触程度的有效测量方法。此外,KART分数与词汇知识和语言理解的线下测量显示出可靠的相关性。最后,词汇判断任务的结果表明,KART分数调节了单词熟悉度效应的大小,即KART分数较高的参与者的该效应较小。结果表明,ART是一项衡量印刷品接触程度的通用语言任务,有助于解释语言理解能力和单词识别过程中的个体差异。
