1098.109 Repetition priming within- and between-language of pictures in English as a second
language students, Jingxin Wang, Kuo Zhang, China
The current work examined the repetition priming within and between languages of pictures in
English as a second language students. We used a repetition priming paradigm. The participants
were asked to name the pictures that were presented previously marked with Chinese characters or
English words in the same language (Chinese-Chinese or English-English) or in the opposite
language (Chinese-English or English-Chinese). We found a larger repetition priming within
languages than between languages whether the subjects named the pictures in Chinese or in
English. The results are consistent with the view on within and Between languages priming are
mediated by different mechanisms.
1098.110 Development of phonological skills and reading acquisition in French children, Jean
Ecalle, University of Lyon2, France
In a longitudinal study following prereading kindergartners through first grade (N=47), three
phonological tasks involving different linguistic units (syllable, intrasyllabic unit, phoneme) were
proposed: an epiphonological task (judgment of similarity (E)) and two metaphonological tasks
(extraction of common units (M1); unit substitution (M2)). Performances decreased from E, to M1,
to M2. In response to formal instruction, phonemes yielded better performances than larger units.
The best predictors of reading were the substitution of syllables and phonemes. The links between
phonological skills and reading were investigated to take account of both types of phonological
processes involved when assessing phonological skills.
1098.111 Development features of naming, Shorena Mamukadze, WFNS, Georgia
Goal of the study was investigation of child naming in Georgian language. 240 children of both
sexes from 3 to 11 were studied. 48 black-white pictures were used and 6 factors were controlled:
word length, word frequency, word complexity, category, speech part, visual complexity of picture.
In case of failure in naming child provided with following prompts: representative-cue,
category-cue, word first syllable-cue, essential feature-cue, situation feature-cue, and
procedural-cue. Different influences of word frequency, word complexity, word length, category,
speech part, visual complexity of picture were revealed in different age groups.
1098.112 Psychological analysis of avoidence phenonmenon in second language learning, Lu Sun,
Dianzhi Liu, Southwest China Normal University, China
"Avoidence Phenomenon" is very general in second language learning. Although there are some
different linquistic theories about it, it has never been interpretted psychologically. In this research,
the essence and the causes of the avoidence phenomenon were analized psychologically, and the
results shows that the cause of this phenomenon has something to do with learning motivation,
self-efficacy and personal character.
