Exploration and Reflection on the Transfer Effect of Global and Local Processing Modes

根据Förster提出的GLOMOsys理论模型(the Global versus Local processing Model, a systems account)，人们在信息加工时所采用的整体和局部加工模式能产生“迁移效应”，延续并影响到后续的任务表现。考虑到相关实验不可重复率的不断增加，本研究通过两个实验，不断优化调整有利于迁移产生的实验条件，验证整体和局部加工模式的迁移效应是否存在。结果发现：在控制启动效应随时间衰减及任务切换的干扰后，仍未发现整体和局部加工模式的迁移效应。实验结果未能证明通过Navon图形任务激活整体与局部加工模式能产生迁移效应。According to Förster’s GLOMOsys (the Global versus Local processing Model, a systems account), the global and local processing employed during information processing may produce a transfer effect that carries over to subsequent tasks. Given increasing rates of nonreplications of relevant experiments, we continuously made adjustments to the experimental conditions across two experiments to facilitate such transfer in this study, aiming to provide evidence for the existence of the transfer of global and local processing modes. It was found that the transfer of global and local processing modes were not found after controlling for interference from the time decay effect of priming effect and the tasks switching. The results failed to support the hypothesis that the global and local processing modes activated by the Navon task can produce transfer effect.
