Abstract

This study utilized a lexical decision task to investigate the impact of varying time intervals (500 ms, 750 ms, 1000 ms) on lexical processing in advanced Chinese L2 learners, with particular attention to the interaction between time interval and word frequency. The results indicated that a 750 ms interval optimised performance, facilitating both higher accuracy and rapid responses, especially for high-frequency words. In contrast, the 500 ms interval, while reducing reaction time, posed greater challenges for mid- and low-frequency words as well as non-words, without significantly improving accuracy. These findings contribute theoretical insights for L2 vocabulary instruction and assessment, and offer practical implications for the design of more effective learning tools.
