时间顺序关系对语言理解的影响

通过2个实验探讨在语言理解中时间顺序相关性(顺时序、反时序、不相关)和时间间隔(200ms、500ms、1000ms)在日常事件认识中的作用。实验采用关系——认知范式(relarion-recognition paradigm)。结果表明：被试在有明显时间信息影响下，优先对将来取向(顺时序)的事件进行加工处理。对时间上不相关的事件比对顺时序和反时序的事件加工得快而准。但在无明显时间信息影响时，首先受到本身词义的影响，继而受到隐含的时间信息的影响。

Effects of Temporal Order Relations on Language Comprehension

This research is mainly about the effects of temporal order relations of general events in language comprehension. The effects of temporal orientation (chronological, reverse, unrelated) and the stimulus onset asynchrony (200ms, 500ms, 1000ms) in general event knowledge was examined through two experiments in which a relation-recognition paradigm was used. The results indicated that First, when temporal information was stated explicitly by the temporal connectives (before or after), it was confirmed that readers preferred to process the events directed towards future time, and that it was quicker and more accurate to process the events unrelated with time than the events related with time. Second, when the temporal connectives were deleted, the influence of the implied temporal information which was less than the influence of the meaning itself was found.
