部分线索对图形和汉字认知任务干扰作用的研究

When subjects are asked to recognize a picture, the performance is impaired by previous display of a degraded one of it. This phenomenon is called the part-set cuing effect. In the present research, the conditions on which this effect occured were investigated. In Experiment I, the results showed that, by displaying more than one steps of the degraded ones of the same picture, the recognition of this picture was more likely to be impaired. In Experiment II, if the subjects had studied the Chinese characters in a group were similar in meaning or were selected randomly, while they were dissimilar in shape. If the subjects had not studied these characters beforehand, the effect occured in the shape-similar group and the randomly - selected group. An activation-bias hypothesis was given not to explain all these results.
