摘要： Chinese children's visual representation of characters was tracked with two tasks. The Delayed Copy Character Task required children to reproduce different types of characters and noncharacters after each had been briefly presented. The Detect Component Task required children to find different types of components embedded in sets of characters. Experiment 1 showed that by late first grade some children are aware of the internal structure of Chinese characters and are beginning to encode characters in terms of units representing major character components. Experiment 2 involved children from the second and fourth grade, as well as children early in the first grade, and more refined versions of the perceptual tasks. The finding again was that major components of characters, and even subcomponents that do not represent semantic or phonological information, function as units of character perception. The ability to see characters in terms of constituent units is acquired gradually over the early elementary school years and is correlated with vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension, and teacher's rating of reading level. 出版者： Philadelphia: Taylor & Francis Group 出版日期： 2013-01-01 出處： Scientific Studies of Reading, 2013-01, Vol.17 (1), p.41-56 資源來源： Taylor & Francis Journals 版權： Copyright 2013 Society for the Scientific Study of Reading 2013 版權： Copyright Routledge 2013 識別號： ISSN: 1088-8438 識別號： EISSN: 1532-799X 識別號： DOI: 10.1080/10888438.2012.689789 識別號： CODEN: SSTRFZ
