complete over part-face advantage independent of transformation was demonstrated across all
views and expressive transformation. A hierarchy of feature saliency was found. Findings are
discussed in terms of the problem of object-constancy as it applies to faces.

2077.1 Phonologic processing mechanism in Chinese speech production, Lin Yu, Shu Hua,
China
Production of fluent speech is one of the most complex skills humans acquire and it has been the
least understood among psycholinguistics. The phonological processing is the most important
stage during speech production. Using a picture-word interference paradigm, In two experiments
the phonologic processing mechanism in Chinese speech production was examined. The results
show a construction view of spoken syllable in Chinese speech production and the importance of
the onset in Chinese speech production. But different results compared with the studies done in
alphabetical language shows that no priming effect was found in end related priming condition.
2077.2 Semantic processing: The L2 lexical competence perspective, Hong Li, Chongqing
University, China
Three experiments were run to examine the effects of L2 vocabulary knowledge and individual
differences in working memory capacity on L2 semantic processing. Experiment 1 showed that
learners of high-level L2 vocabulary knowledge were quicker and more accurate than those of
low-level L2 vocabulary knowledge regarding accessibility of L2 semantic knowledge.
Experiment 2 showed that the response pattern observed in the learners with richer vocabulary
knowledge was different from that in the learners with poorer vocabulary knowledge. Experiment
3 revealed a null effect of working memory capacity and showed that L2 vocabulary knowledge
was not correlated with working memory capacity.
2077.3 The research of experiments of helplessness caused by the uncontrollable cognition and
information feedbacks’ disagreement, Xin Mei Cao 1 , De Jun Guo 2 , 1 Gannan Teachers' College,
China; 2 Capital Normal University, China
Three experiments were used to investigate the causes that lead to learned helplessness.
Experiment 1 was conducted on 194 college students to explore the relation between the
uncontrollable cognition to the test score and the learned helplessness, and showed that cognition
of importance about uncontrollable events and expectation of uncontrollability over outcome
correlated significantly with helplessness, depression and attributional style. Experiment 2 and
Experiment 3 investigate why uncontrollable cognition caused by inconsistence of information
feedback, could lead to learned helplessness. The results show that inconsistence of information
feedback damaged cognition, emotion and the following task performance under uncontrollable
circumstance.
