Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate some characteristics of representation of category knowledge and script knowledge. Using primed lexical decision task with higher level primers in the representation structure, Experiment 1 examined the interaction effects between knowledge type and concept typicality. It was found that the concept typicality has some effects in category representation, while it has no significant effect in script representation. In Experiment 2, primers of the lower hierarchy in the representation structure were employed. The results showed that the main effect of knowledge type was significant: the response time for category knowledge was faster than that for script knowledge. Typicality effect did not show in this experiment. The results of t the two experiments suggest that category knowledge is represented in hierarchy and typicality. while script knowledge may lack in that characteristics. Other aspects of the differences in characteristics of category- and script- knowledge representation were discussed,

이 연구는 지식유형에 따른 표상 차이를 확인하기 위해서 범주지식과 각본지식의 위계성과 전형성에 대한 점화효과를 측정하였다. 실험 1에서는 상위개념을 점화단어로 제시하고 하위개념을 목표단어로 제시한 다움 목표단어의 어휘판단시간을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 범주지식은 전형단어가 비전형단어보다 반응시간이 빨랐지만, 각본지식은 두 조건간의 차이가 없었다. 실험 2에서는 하위개념을 점화단어로 제시하고 상위개념을 목표단어로 제시한 다음 목표단어의 어위판단시간을 측정하였다. 범주지식이 각본지식보다 반응시간이 빨랐으며, 두 지식 모두 전형성 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 범주지식은 전형성에 따른 위계구조를 구성하지만 각본지식은 범주지식에 비해서 위계성과 전형성이 약회된 구조로 표상될 가능성을 시사하는 것이다.
