چکیده

در برخی موارد پردازش­های ذهنی در درک شنیداری زبان گفتار با دشواری روبه­روست. به نظر می­رسد فعال­سازی صورت نوشتاری کلمات در ذهن می­تواند در چنین شرایطی درک را تسهیل نماید. در این مقاله، با توجه به اینکه یافته­های پژوهشی نشان می­دهند که پردازش و دسترسی به کلمات هم­آوای ناهم­نویسه از دیگر کلمات دشوارتر است، در پی شناسایی نقش خط نوشتار و صورت نوشتاری واژگان در پردازش و درک این نوع کلمات به هنگام فرآیندهای پردازشی کل به جزء (مانند درک گفتار) بوده­ایم. به این منظور، یک آزمون انگیزشی براساس انگاره­ی مرکبی از انگاره­های پردازشی و دسترسی لولت، رولفس و مایر (1999) و دل (1990) طراحی شد، که 41 نفر آزمودنی در آن شرکت داشتند. نتایج بدست آمده، فرض تحقیق را مبنی بر فعال­شدن صورت نوشتاری کلمات هم­آوای ناهم­نویسه جهت تسهیل درک با اطمینان 95% تأیید کرد.

چکیده [English]

The role of orthography in difficult speech perception tasks has already been proved (Dehaene & Cohen, 2011). Since the processing of heterographic homophones is believed to be more difficult than other words (Hino & colleagues, 2013), the present study aimed at identifying the role of orthography and word forms in perception of such words during top-down processes, such as speech perception. A kind of priming experiment was programmed on the basis of a mixed word processing and retrieval model. This model was the result of combining the models proposed by Levelt, Roelofs, and Meyer (1999) and Dell (1990). 41 participants took part in the experiment and the data analysis confirmed the research hypothesis by 95 percent of certainty.
