Original Title:
Παρεμβολή στην κατονομασία ως αποτέλεσμα εξάσκησης: υπάρχει συμμετρία σχήματος και χρώματος;
Translated title:
Interference in naming as a result of practice: is there symmetry between shape and color?
Summary:
In this study is examined whether the interference between two dimensions of
the stimulus in naming tasks appears to be symmetrical between shape and color.
The automatization theory predicts that the size of the interference depends on
the relevant exercise in the two dimensions. Recent data have cast doubt on
this hypothesis, while the neuronal recycling hypothesis for the evolution of
reading suggests that the brain circuits responsible for the processing of
written stimuli are adapted to process detailed forms. So the naming of shapes
may be inherently more efficient and durable than the naming of colors. The
study begins with the repetition of the experiment of McLeod and Dunbar (1988),
by adding a reverse condition. The confirmation of the asymmetry requires new
hypotheses regarding the role of verbal response and the nature of the
dimensions of the stimulus.
