探讨空间信息对语义相关判断的影响。实验材料是具有内在纵向空间关系的词对,纵向呈现在计算机屏幕上,呈现顺序与指代物的空间位置次序一致或不一致,要求被试对词对进行语义相关判断。综合2个实验的结果表明,语义相关判断任务中被试会自动激活指代物的空间信息,并且其对空间信息的表征是知觉符号表征。而非表象表征。研究结果进一步支持了知觉符号理论。
This study examined the influence of spatial information on semantic relatedness judgment, The results from two experiments showed that the spatial information of referents was automatically activated in semantic relatedness judgment, and the representation of spatial information was perceptual symbol representation rather than image representation. The results supported the perceptual symbol system.
