Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? When the prime type factor was restricted to TC pseudowords and control nonwords, the language × prime type interaction was marginally significant and the TC effect was marginally larger for Chinese participants. → Geng Yaoyao 2026

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Supplementary refitted model on Experiment 2 data restricted to the TC pseudoword and control nonword prime levels. The omnibus language × prime type interaction was marginally significant (χ2(1) = 3.493, p = .062), and the quoted planned contrast was marginal, not reaching the significance threshold.
"planned contrasts showed that the TC effect was marginally larger in Chinese participants than in Japanese participants (β = − 0.018, SE = 0.010, t = − 1.869, p(tukey) = 0.062)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Word frequency does not modulate the transposed-character effect in either experiment — related
- In Experiment 2, the native language × frequency interaction is significant, with both groups responding faster to high-frequency items — related
- In a masked-priming lexical decision task, both Chinese and Japanese speakers show a TC effect, with TC primes producing faster responses than control nonword primes — related
- In a single-word lexical decision task, Chinese speakers show a transposed-character effect in reaction times and error rates while Japanese speakers do not — related
- The TC effect grows with prime time: it is significantly larger at 300 ms than at 60 ms and 150 ms, and does not decrease with longer prime time — related
