To test the effect of the frequency of orthographic "neighbors" on the identification of a printed word, two sets of words were constructed (equated on the number of neighbors, word frequency, and number of letters); in one set, the words had no higher frequency neighbors and in the other set, they had at least one higher frequency neighbor. Identification was slower for the latter set. In Experiment 1, this was indexed by longer response times in a lexical decision task. In Experiment 2, the target words were embedded in sentences, and slower identification was indexed by disruptions in reading: more regressions back to the words with higher frequency neighbors and longer fixations on the text immediately following these words. The latter results indicate that a higher frequency neighbor affects relatively late stages of lexical access, an interpretation consistent with both activation-verification and interactive activation models.
为了测试正字法“邻字”频率对印刷文字识别的影响，构建了两组单词（在邻字数量、词频和字母数量上相等）；在一组中，单词没有高频邻字，而在另一组中，它们至少有一个高频邻字。后一组的识别速度较慢。在实验1中，这通过词汇判断任务中较长的反应时间来衡量。在实验2中，目标单词嵌入在句子中，较慢的识别通过阅读中断来衡量：更多地回视到有高频邻字的单词，并且在这些单词之后的文本上有更长的注视时间。后一个结果表明，高频邻字影响词汇通达的相对较晚阶段，这一解释与激活验证模型和交互激活模型均一致。
