Abstract
The time course of semantic, orthographic and phonologic activation in Chinese speech production was explored with picture-word interference paradigm. The semantic inhibition effect was found ranging from the SOAs of -300ms to 0ms. The orthographic facilitation effect occurred from SOAs of -100ms to 100ms. The phonological facilitation effect appeared at SOAs of 100ms. The results of the experiments were consistent with the views of the interactive activation theory. The experiments probed the orthographic activation and phonological activation independently. The important role of orthography and whether the participants used the strategies unconsciously in the Chinese word production was discussed.
