Recent studies of handwriting have shown that linguistic variables, such as phonology or lexicality, influence various aspects of the production of letter sequences. Following a previous experiment, in which a facilitation effect of words over pseudowords has been documented both in children and in adults, an experiment is reported concerning the effect of lexicality and of trigram frequency on handwriting production at different levels of handwriting mastery. In this experiment, 8- to 12-year-old children and adults were asked to write words, pseudowords ending with a frequent trigram, and pseudowords ending with a nonfrequent trigram. Results show that in adults there is a facilitation effect of words over pseudowords and of frequent trigrams over nonfrequent trigrams. In children, no clear effect of lexicality or trigram frequency could be observed. Developmental trends show that major changes in children's handwriting occur between 8 and 10 years, whereas only minor modifications are observed between 10 and 12 years.
近期关于笔迹的研究表明，语言变量，如音系学或词汇性，会影响字母序列书写的各个方面。在之前的一项实验中，已记录到单词相对于假词在儿童和成人中均存在促进效应。在此，报告一项关于词汇性和三元组频率对不同笔迹掌握水平下笔迹书写影响的实验。在该实验中，8至12岁的儿童和成人被要求书写单词、以高频三元组结尾的假词以及以低频三元组结尾的假词。结果显示，在成人中，单词相对于假词以及高频三元组相对于低频三元组均存在促进效应。在儿童中，未观察到明显的词汇性或三元组频率效应。发展趋势表明，儿童笔迹的主要变化发生在8至10岁之间，而在10至12岁之间仅观察到微小变化。
