閱讀歷程中的一致性與規則性效果

Rethinking of the Regularity and Consistency Effects in Reading

關於閱讀之形音轉換歷程，至今已有各種不同的詞彙辨識模型提出解釋，然而有關究竟應該使用一致性或是規則性的來表徵字形字音的對應方式的爭議，則尚未有定論。這篇文章旨在回顧相關的文獻，並認為形音對應一致性概念衍生出來的鄰項特性（諸如敵人與朋友鄰項的相對字頻），在中文或英文的文字辨識的歷程中都確有其影響力。本文最後建議，藉由整合傳統行為研究與現代的電生理研究，可更進一步瞭解閱讀歷程的時序問題。

Various models of visual word recognition have been proposed to explain the underlying processes of orthography-to-phonology transformation. There is still a debate concerning whether regularity or consistency is more appropriate for representing the knowledge of orthography-to-phonology correspondences and characterizing the difficulty of word naming. This article reviews findings of related studies and suggests that neighborhood characteristics, such as the relative frequency of friends and enemies, play a central role across different languages. Studies that aim to integrate behavioral and electrophysiologyical approaches might help to reveal the temporal dynamics of reading processes.
