This phenomenon is said to occur as a result of stimulus satiation produced by prolonged inspection of the character and appears to be specific to Chinese logographical scripts only but not to alphabetical scripts. The purpose of the present research project is to explore the mechanism underlying the orthographic deformation through a period of two-year research. The first-year project is to explore a desirable implicit or indirect measure of orthographic deformation whereby the orthographic deformation can be detected objectively and indirectly, without committing the shortcomings of self-reports. In the second-year project, experiments will be conducted to explore the mechanism underlying the orthographic deformation by investigating how the speed of orthographic deformation of characters is affected by features of the characters to be inspected such as morphological structure, frequency of occurrence, complexity, phonological similarity of a character and its sound radical, semantic similarity of a character and its meaning radical, and so on.application/pdf233802 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學心理學系暨研究所Orthogonal DeformationStimulus DeformationChinese Character ProcessingMetacognitionImplicit Measurereporthttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/9743/1/932413H002016.pdf
