碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 心理學研究所 === 95 === At 50 ms stimulus onset asynchrony, two forward-masked phonological priming experiments were conducted to examine whether the strong phonological theory is suited to the Chinese character recognition. Target regularity, phonological priming, and the prime types (regular-high consistent, irregular-low consistent) were included into manipulation. Results showed that the target responses were facilitated by a homophone prime only when the target was regular and the prime was regular-high consistent in lexical decision task (Experiment 1), and were inhibited only when the target was irregular and the prime was irregular-low consistent in naming task (Experiment 2). The results contradicted the strong phonological theory’s prediction. A possible alternative to account for these two experiements’ results was proposed.
