본 연구는 다(多)음절 한국어 단어재인에서의 어휘접근단위(unit of lexical access)를 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 Taft(1987)가 영어 어휘접근단위를 알아보고자 했을 때 사용한 실험 패러다임을 이용하였다. 실험 결과 반응시간에서는 조건간 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았지만, BOSS 조건의 반응시간이 짧은 경향성을 보였고, 반응률에 있어서도 BOSS를 지지하는 결과를 보여주었다. 물론, 반응 오류가 많은 등 Taft(1987)의 패러다임을 한국어에 적용하기에 부적절했던 점이 있었지만, 적어도 다음절 단어 어휘접근 시 BOSS가 역할을 하고 있다는 것은 알아 볼 수 있었다.

The age of acquisition effect is the phenomenon in which the words acquired early in life are processed better than the words acquired later in life. Age of acquisition and word frequency are critical factors in lexical processing. In this study we examined the age of acquisition effects in Hangul word recognition. In Experiment 1, we examined the AoA effects in word naming and lexical decision tasks. The results showed that there was an interaction between task and age of acquisition. The AoA effects appeared only in the lexical decision task. In Experiment 2, we examined the relationship between age of acquisition and word frequency in the lexical decision task. The results showed that the two variables were significant. The early-acquired words were processed better than the words acquired later, and the words with high frequency were processed better than the words with low frequency. However, there was no interaction between the two variables. In Experiment 3, we examined how phonological changes in Hangul words influence the AoA effects. The results show that the AoA effects were similar whether phonological changes occur or not. Our results are discussed in terms of several theoretical hypotheses.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of word length on auditory word recognition. Word length can be defined by several sublexical units, such as letters, phonemes, syllables, etc. To find out which sublexical units are influential in auditory word recognition, the auditory lexical decision task was used. In Experiment 1, we examined the partial correlation between the speed of reaction time and the number of sublexical units, and in Experiment 2, we executed ANOVA to find out which sublexical length variable was an influential unit. Through these two experiment, we concluded syllable length was the most important variable on auditory word recognition.

This study investigated the interaction between phonological phrase boundary and word frequency variable in Korean speech processing. A word monitoring task was performed to examine the interference caused by the frequency effect of target word depending on whether a phonological phrase is formed within the target word. Frequency of target word (high vs low) and phonological phrase boundary (within target word vs between target words) were applied as between and within subject condition respectively. Our results showed the significant main effect of the phonological phrase boundary and the significant interaction. In the post-hoc analysis, the high-frequency target words were detected significantly faster than the low-frequency target words only in the within phonological phrase boundary condition. Frequency effect in the between phonological phrase boundary condition did not appear. The results indicated that the phonological phrase boundary and word frequency variable played an important role in Korean speech processing. In particular, we discussed the possibility of processing the word frequency at the very early sensory information processing stage based on the interaction of two experimental factors.

문자는 의사소통의 중요한 매개체 중 하나로 사람이 문자를 인식할 때, 글자의 크기나 모양, 위치, 글 자체 등의 매우 다양한 지각적인 변화에 의한 영향을 크게 받지 않는다. 이는 문자에 대한 처리가 다른 사물과는 다소 다르게 일어나며 머릿속에 추상적인 형태(abstract form)로 저장되어 있음을 의미한다. 이러한 처리과정은 시각단어재인 과정에서 어휘 지식에 접근하기 위한 중요한 단계로 여겨지면서 이와 관련된 대뇌 영역의 국재화 양상에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한글 시각단어재인에 있어 Cohen과 Dehaene 등이 'visual word form area'주장하고 있는 좌측 ventral occipito-tempoarl region의 대뇌 활성화 양상을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과, 좌측 'VWFA'는 어휘의 친숙성에 우뇌의 대측 지점은 어휘성(lexicality)에 민감한 것으로 나타났다.

Two experiments were conducted to examine the processing of Korean compounds in relation to saisios. Saisios is a letter interposed between constituents when a phonological change takes place on the onset of the first syllable of the second constituent. This saisios rule is often violated by writers, resulting in many words having two spellings: one with saisios and the other without saisios. Among two spellings, some words are more familiar with saisios, some are usually spelled without saisios, and some are balanced. In Experiment 1 using the go/no-go lexical decision task, participants were asked to judge compounds with/without saisios. Saisios-dominant words (나뭇잎 > 나무잎) were responded faster when they appeared with saisios, whereas the opposite was true for words that usually appear without saisios (북엇국 < 북어국). In experiment 2, we presented participants compound words that were balanced on saisios. The results showed that words without saisios were responded faster than words with saisios. To summarize, the results of Experiment 1 and 2 were consistent with the APPLE model. Some problems related to the saisios rule were discussed in terms of reading process.

이 연구에서는 단어를 지각하게 되면 그 단어에 대한 의미가 자동적으로 활성화되고 그림표상까지도 활성화되지만, 그림을 지각하고 난 후에는 의미표상체계는 활성화되지만 단어의 지각적 표상체계는 활성화되지 않는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 실험 1과 2에서는 지연시간을 달리하여 그림을 지각적으로 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과를 보았으며, 실험 3 에서는 그림을 개념주도적 처리를 하게 한 후 단어에 대한 점화효과 및 암묵적 기억과 재인기억을 비교해 보았다. 실험결과 지각적 판단과제에서는 조건간의 아무런 차이가 없었지만, 의미적 판단과제에서는 동일조건과 그림조건에서의 반응시간이 통제조건을 포함한 기타 조건들에서보다 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 의미적 표상체계로부터 단어의 지각적 표상체계까지의 상호작용 통로가 존재하지 않으며, 그림자극이 단어자극의 점화효과에 영향을 주는 이유는 동일한 의미적 표상체계의 활성화가 단어자극의 지각적 표상체계까지 확산되기 때문이 아니라, 그림자극에 대한 의미적 표상체계가 활성화되기 때문이라는 점을 시사한다.

The priming task was used in order to provide an experimental evidence on whether the processing unit of Korean syllable is antibody or not. Four types of experimental conditions were made: antibody overlap condition (e.g., sumjil -> sungjik), rime overlap condition (e.g.,: hungchik -> sungjik), onset and coda overlap condition (e.g.,: saengjeok -> sungjik), and no overlap condition (e.g.,: chanmeol -> sungjik). In addition, we manipulated the letter type by type and type in order to investigate on whether different degrees of priming are there for the priming task. The result showed that only type showed significant inhibitory effects. This implicates that certain Korean word would be represented and processed by the antibody unit, and further studies are needed to know the whole pattern of Korean word recognition.

Three experiments were carried out to examine how LED lighting hues influence to the rating and recognition of affective stimuli. In Experiment 1 and 2, IAPS affective pictures were used and an affective rating(valence and arousal) task and a recognition memory task were conducted under red, green, blue, and white hue LED lightings in Experiment 1 and cyan, magenta, yellow, and white ones in Experiment 2, respectively. In Experiment 3, affective words were used and the same two tasks were conducted under red, green, blue, and white hue LED lightings. According to the results of affective rating tasks, when primary hues(RGB) were used, red LED lighting elicited an excitement at the arousal dimension and green LED lighting evoked pleasantness at the valence one. When secondary hues(CMY) were used, magenta and cyan showed the similar but weaker patterns of responses comparing to red and green. The results of recognition memory task showed that the responses to the picture stimuli presented at green and cyan hue lightings tended to be a bit faster comparing to the stimuli presented at the other conditions but the difference was insignificant. In Experiment 3, however, recognition memory responses to the affective words presented at green hue lighting were faster significantly. These results indicate that warm colors like red and magenta elicit unpleasantness or excitement while cool colors like green and cyan evoke pleasantness or relaxation, and the primary hues provoke more positive or negative affectivity than secondary ones do. Particularly, the result of recognition memory task in Experiment 3 suggests that green hue LED lighting might be advantageous at the memory performance of language stimuli rather than visual ones.

본 논문은 한국인 피험자를 대상으로 이루어진 어절 재인 실험 시 관찰된 언어 현상인 길이 효과, 빈도 효과, 그리고 이웃 효과를 설명할 수 있는 한국어 어절 재인 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안한다. 제안한 모델은 코퍼스에서 나타난 어절의 빈도를 이용하여 정렬한 트라이(trie) 구조를 기반으로 하고 있다. 본 모델은 피험자들의 어절 재인 현상을 모두 설명할 수 있으며 피험자들을 대상으로 한 실험에서 사용한 동일 자료를 이용하여 시뮬레이션한 결과 유의미한 상관 관계를 보였다. 현재 시뮬레이션 중 발견된 언어 현상이 한국인 피험자에서도 나타나는지를 규명하기 위한 실험과 영어 단어 재인시의 언어 현상에 대해서도 적용할 수 있는 확장 방안에 대하여 연구를 수행하고 있다.
