A 2x3 factorial design that incorporated a discriminative-cue condition and a control condition consisting of 3 trials each was used. The subjects were 36 students with a mean age of 20 years and 4 months. Half of them were given the discriminative cue that hinted at the meanings common to the three Kanji during the retrieval phase of each trial; the other subjects were not given any cue. Each student was tested individually. Three Kanji, with the same radical and similar meanings, were projected simultaneously for 2.5 seconds on a screen for each of 3 trials. Following this showing, a 20-second distractor task (counting backward by 3s from a 3-digit number) was assigned. After that, the subject was asked to recall the 3 Kanji and to write them within 15 seconds. Following the recall test, a second trial and then a third trial was conducted. The main results appeared as follows: performance decreased with each subsequent trial for the control condition suggesting that interference was attributable to the similar meanings of the Kanji. However, performance on recall tests did not decrease significantly in subsequent trials in the discriminative-cue condition. This finding suggests that interference decreased because of the presentation of discriminative meanings of Kanji. Therefore, the associative meanings of Kanji are very important in recalling them.}, pages = {1--6}, title = {漢字の記憶における意味の役割に関する研究}, volume = {39}, year = {1995} }
