| summary | Language processing constantly involves information of different modalities. Reading and writing predominantly recruit the orthographic (visual form) system, and speaking and listening recruit the phonological (sound) system. The dynamic relationship between these two systems has been an issue of interest in various contexts. I will present some data on the effect of reading on speech production by using picture-word interference paradigm and by exploiting some special features of the Chinese language. Chinese is a logographic language and therefore provides us opportunities to tease apart effects that originate from the two systems.
One important finding in the speech production literature is that picture naming performance is facilitated by the presentation of a distractor (e.g. CAP) formally
related to the picture name (e.g., "cat"). This form facilitation effect has long been assumed to occur at the phonological level of the speech production system. However, the target-distractor relationship was always both phonological and orthographic. In three experiments we investigated the nature of such form facilitation effect with Mandarin Chinese, separating the effects of phonology and orthography. We found both types of effects and argued that the classic form facilitation effect in picture-word interference is a mixed effect with multiple loci. The interaction between the distractor reading and the target production is more complex than previously assumed. |
