This study investigated semantic priming for literal (stinging-mosquito) and metaphoric (stinging-insult) associates presented to either the left or right visual fields (RVF/LVF) across stimulus-onset-asynchronies (SOA) of 200 and 800 ms. For the short SOA condition, facilitation was found for metaphorically related targets in both visual fields (VFs) while literally related targets were facilitated only in the RVF. For the long SOA condition, metaphorically related targets were facilitated in the LVF whereas literally related targets were facilitated in the RVF. These results support previous findings indicating an enhanced role of the RH in metaphoric comprehension. In addition, the present results are in accordance with current models of hemispheric semantic processing.
本研究调查了在200毫秒和800毫秒的刺激起始异步（SOA）条件下，呈现给左视野或右视野（RVF/LVF）的字面（刺痛-蚊子）和隐喻（刺痛-侮辱）联想词的语义启动情况。在短SOA条件下，两个视野（VF）中隐喻相关目标均出现促进效应，而字面相关目标仅在右视野中出现促进效应。在长SOA条件下，左视野中隐喻相关目标出现促进效应，而右视野中字面相关目标出现促进效应。这些结果支持了先前的研究结果，表明右半球在隐喻理解中作用增强。此外，目前的结果与当前的半球语义加工模型一致。
