Abstract

This study tried to replicate and extend the semantic transparency morphological effect using the flanker lexical decision paradigm (Grainger et al., 2020). In the first experiment, stems were used as flankers of target words that could be truly morphological (hunt hunter hunt), pseudomorphological (corn corner corn), or form-related with the flanker (broth brothel broth). In half of the trials, a related flanker was employed, and in the other half, an unrelated word was presented as flanker (e.g., table player table). The results showed a facilitative effect for the related condition as a main effect with no difference between experimental conditions. These results were interpreted in terms of an orthographic facilitation taking place when whole stems are presented as flankers. In the second experiment, short derivational suffixes were used as flankers of the same targets employed in the first experiment. The results showed an inhibitory effect of the same magnitude for the transparent and pseudomorphological conditions with no effect for the form condition. This finding suggests an inhibitory effect by which morphemes activate several lexical candidates that compete for recognition. Overall, the results are interpreted in terms of the cognitive requirements of the experimental task, the items selected, and the current models of morphological processing.

语义透明度在侧卫任务中的作用。

本研究试图使用flanker词汇决策范式来复制和扩展语义透明形态学效应(Grainger et al.， 2020)。在第一个实验中，词干被用作目标词的侧边，这些词可以是真正形态学的(hunt hunter hunt)，也可以是伪形态学的(corn corner corn)，或者是与侧边词的形式相关的(broth brothel broth)。在一半的试验中，使用了一个相关的侧卫，而在另一半试验中，一个不相关的词被呈现为侧卫(例如，table player table)。结果表明，相关条件的促进效应为主要效应，且各实验条件间无差异。这些结果被解释为正字法促进发生时，整个茎被呈现为侧卫。在第二个实验中，使用短衍生后缀作为第一个实验中使用的相同目标的侧翼。结果表明，透明条件和假形态条件具有相同程度的抑制作用，而对形态条件没有影响。这一发现表明了一种抑制效应，即语素激活了几个竞争识别的候选词汇。总的来说，实验结果可以从实验任务的认知要求、选择的项目和当前的形态处理模型来解释。

期刊介绍： As its name implies, Experimental Psychology (ISSN 1618-3169) publishes innovative, original, high-quality experimental research in psychology — quickly! It aims to provide a particularly fast outlet for such research, relying heavily on electronic exchange of information which begins with the electronic submission of manuscripts, and continues throughout the entire review and production process. The scope of the journal is defined by the experimental method, and so papers based on experiments from all areas of psychology are published. In addition to research articles, Experimental Psychology includes occasional theoretical and review articles.
