The Structural Dissociation Between Cycle And Linear Material

The social environment or culture shapes our cognitive style.The unique cycle-culture has shaped the particular preference of Chinese cycle-cognitive.Will the participants expressed cognitive preference for cycle-structure when process the information of the thematic relation between objects under the Chinese culture background? The basic premise to answer this question is that there exist experimental dissociation between cycle and linear structure while processing thematic relations.We adopted three word-pairs to stimulating the process of structural information which in thematic relations.Implicit priming paradigm was employed to explore the experimental dissociation between cycle and linear structure.Questionnaire method was used to assessed cycle or linear degree of the three thematic word-pairs which would be applied in the formal experiment that in the fist study.In the second study,we studied the cycle or linear structural implicit priming effects through Lack Strokes Decision Task,results showed that significant task dissociations between the two structures.The third study further probed into the two type structures' implicit priming effects in Homophone Decision Task,and we found the same results as study two.Conclusion:(1)When processing ternary thematic relations,the results of participants from china expressed experimental dissociation between cycle and linear structure.(2)Local Processing Task may induce negative priming effects.(3)When coding cycle structure we may prefer global processing.(4)The semantic information primes by Perceptual Decision Task is limited,while Homophone Decision Task activates semantic information effectively.
