Visual Interference Effect During Word Processing and Its Influential Factors
This study conducted three experiments,in which Chinese words,facial images,and Korean nonwords were used as materials.By using a lexical decision task,this study aimed to explore the visual interference effect during word processing and its influential factors.The results showed that:1)The interference materials in the visual field slowed down the reading speed of target word processing.2)The visual interference effect was regulated by the category consistency between the interference materials and the target materials,in which the materials belonging to the same category produced a stronger interference effect.These results suggest that the visual interference effect during word processing might be accounted by the potential competition for neural resources in the category-specific brain area.
