THE TIME COURSE OF GRAPHIC, PHONOLOGICAL AND SEMANTIC INFORMA TION PROCESSING IN CHINESE CHARACTER RECOGNITION (Ⅱ)
汉字识别中形音义激活时间进程的研究(Ⅱ)

Using different tasks, the time course of graphic, phonological, semantic in formation activation during Chinese low frequency characters recognition was inv estigated in two priming-category judgement experiments based individually on th e semantic (Experiment 1) and phonological information (Experiment 2). In Exper iment 1, the graphic priming appeared at 43ms SOA, phonological and semantic pri ming appeared simultaneously at 85ms and 145msSOA. In Experiment 2, the graphic priming appeared at 43ms SOA, phonological and semantic priming appeared at 57ms , 85ms and145ms SOA. The two experiments showed: (1) for low frequency Chinese c haracters, graphic information was first activated; the phonological and semanti c activation could not separate obviously. (2) The order of the graphic, phonolo gical and semantic activation did not depend on the tasks that we had used.
