Is there interaction of lexical selection and phonological encoding in Chinese monosyllabic word production?

The interaction of lexical selection and phonological encoding in Chinese monosyllabic word production was investigated using the classic picture-word interference paradigm. The basic manipulation was to change the relationship between an interfering word and picture name, while altered the interval between picture and distractor word (Stimulus Onset Asynchronys, SOAs). The results indicated that there exist multiple orthographic activations and feedback from orthographic to semantic level. No multiple semantic activations were detected probably due to the experimental materials. These results were in line with the interaction activation model of word production.IUPsy
