THE INFLUENCE OF CONCRETENESS OF WORDS ON WORD RECOGNITION
词的具体性对词汇识别的影响

The experiments were performed to compare the speed and accuracy of lexical decision and naming for Chinese concrete and abstract nouns. The results showed:(1) the effect of concreteness existed in both the lexical decision and ndring tasks; (2) the effect of concreteness appeared only in higher frequency words. The authors gave possible explanation and suggested that the information of graphic, phonological and semantic are possibly interactive during Chinese word recognition.
