Abstract
RosINSKI, RICHARD R. Picture-Word Interference Is Semantically Based. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1977, 48, 643-647. To explore semantic effects in word processing, a set of picture-word interference tasks were administered to second-, fourth-, sixth-grade, and college-level subjects. Results indicated that distractor words belonging to the same semantic category as the pictures produced more interference than either unrelated words or nonsense trigrams; the latter two conditions produced equivalent interference. The effect of semantic category relation was consistent over grade indicating that children and adults experience an equivalent amount of semantic interference. The results are interpreted as indicating the interference between pictures and words takes place in a single semantic store accessed by both pictorial and verbal material.
