Implication

Experimental investigation shows arousal influences word segmentation in Chinese, suggesting effects on word processing.

Key Points

  • To investigate how arousal affects Chinese word segmentation independently from valence.
  • Re-analyzed data from a previous study on word segmentation.
  • Manipulated arousal levels of words while maintaining neutral valence in an experimental setting.
  • Higher-arousal words were segmented more frequently than lower-arousal words.
  • Findings indicate arousal impacts the early activation of a word's representation.
