中文摘要：

本文试图考察IAT效应和它的测量对象即概念联系之间是否存在对应关系。本研究提出了IAT效应和概念联系之间对应关系的形式化模型，并根据这种形式化模型提出了一种具有操作性的检验方式。研究发现：IAT效应主要反映了概念间的相对联系，支持了IAT效应和概念联系的对应关系的观点

英文摘要：

This study explored the relationship between The IAT effect and its object, the target-concepts＇ association. The author presented a formal model to depict the relationship between the IAT effect and the target-concepts＇ association, as well as the operationalized method to verify the model. It reveals that the IAT effect is in one-one correspondence with the target-concepts association, an indication that the IAT effect actually measurs the relative strength of pairs of target-concepts＇ association. The implications of the findings for the study of IAT are discussed.
