Abstract

Abstract Sensory experience rating (SER) is a subjective semantic variable that measures the extent to which a word generates a sensory experience when a reader processes the word, and it has been explored in English, French, and Spanish. The present study collected the SERs of 1,130 Chinese words and explored the correlation between SER and other lexical and semantic variables. SER was significantly associated with concreteness, age of acquisition (AoA), context diversity, and word frequency. The results confirmed both the reliability and the validity of SER. However, SER failed to predict lexical decision performance in reaction time and accuracy rate. It is possible that SER is not as powerful in influencing word recognition as previous studies have assumed, at least for Chinese.

1130个汉语词汇的感觉体验等级:与其他语义和词汇心理语言学变量的关系

感官体验评级(SER)是一个主观的语义变量，用来衡量读者在处理单词时，单词产生感官体验的程度，已经在英语、法语和西班牙语中进行了探索。本研究收集了1130个汉语词汇的SERs，探讨了SER与其他词汇和语义变量的相关性。SER与具体性、习得年龄、语境多样性和词频显著相关。结果证实了SER的信度和效度。然而，SER在反应时间和准确率方面无法预测词汇决策表现。有可能SER对单词识别的影响并不像以前的研究所假设的那样强大，至少对汉语来说是这样。
