Research On The Implicit Learning Of Form-meaning Connections Of Chinese Simple Word

The research chosed the rule of form-meaning connections of Chinese simple word as research object, and three experiments were used to study the learning effect. Also, the methods such as subjective measure were used to study the consciousness level of the knowledge. In experiment one, two variables (degrees of rule difficulty and types of test) were operated under the condition of indirect learning to reveal the learning effect and the influence of the two variables on learning effect. In experiment two, another two variables (test options and types of test) were operated under the condition of classic guidelines of implicit learning to deeply study the rule of form-meaning connections which could be learned. Subsequently, in experiment three, testing effect of implicit learning were studied by compared three experimental conditions (repeated test, changed contexts, delayed test). In all of the three experiments, the author found:(1) Participants learned the animacy rule of form-meaning connections.(2) During the course of learning of form-meaning connections, there are some contributions of conscious ingredient and unconscious ingredient.(3) During the course of learning of form-meaning connections, the first test had not an effect on the second test. However, the change of sentence contexts had made the learning effect decreased significantly in the second test.
