Abstract

Abstract: The distinctiveness account and strength account are two theories to account for the production effect. To discriminate these two accounts, we conducted two experiments to investigate the influence of reading mode and learning frequency on the production effect of Chinese written words. In Experiment 1, reading mode and learning frequency were manipulated to examine the production effect, both of which were within-subjects variables. The main effects of reading mode and learning frequency occurred, but their interaction was not significant. Experiment 2 adopted the same paradigm. However, reading mode was a between-subject variable while learning frequency was a within-subject variable. The main effect of reading mode and its interactive effect with learning frequency in Experiment 2 did not occur, but there was robust main effect of learning frequency. Our findings suggest that the production effect of Chinese written words is not caused by the increased coding strength in loud reading which supports the distinctiveness account.

摘要： 产生效应是指朗读单词的记忆成绩要好于默读单词的。目前存在特异观和强度观两种理论解释，特异观强调朗读的相对特殊性，强度观强调朗读单词的编码强度高于默读单词的。为了检验两种理论，本研究采用“学习-再认”的实验范式，将阅读方式分别设置为被试内和被试间变量，通过两项实验考察阅读方式和学习次数对中文词汇的产生效应的影响。实验1采用被试内设计考察阅读方式和学习次数对产生效应的影响。结果发现阅读方式和学习次数的主效应显著，二者的交互作用不显著。实验2将阅读方式设置为被试间变量，采用混合设计考察阅读方式和学习次数对产生效应的影响。结果发现学习次数的主效应显著，阅读方式的主效应和二者的交互作用不显著。结果表明产生效应未随着项目编码强度的增强而增强，支持特异观。
