Abstract
The experiments were performed to compare the speed and accuracy of lexical decision and naming for Chinese concrete and abstract nouns. The results showed: (1) the effect of concreteness existed in both the lexical decision and naming tasks; (2) the effect of concreteness appeared only in higher frequency words. The authors gave possible explanation and suggested that the information of graphic, phonological and semantic are possibly interactive during Chinese word recognition.
