Attraction effects arise when a comprehender erroneously retrieves a distractor instead of a target item during memory retrieval operations. In Korean, considerable processing difficulties occur in the agreement relation checking between a subject and an honorific-marked predicate when an intervening distractor carries a non-honorific feature. We investigate how attraction effects are managed during the processing of Korean subject-predicate honorific agreement by two Korean-speaking groups with different language use experience backgrounds: college students and airline workers. Results showed that both groups demonstrated stable knowledge of the honorific agreement in the acceptability judgment task. In the self-paced reading task, the airline group, who used honorifics extensively in their workplace, was less affected by the attraction effect than the student group. Our findings suggest that long-term language use experience can modulate how language users manage potential influence from attraction effects in real-time sentence processing.

当理解者在记忆检索操作期间错误地检索干扰项而不是目标项目时，就会出现吸引力效应。在韩语中，当干扰干扰词带有非敬语特征时，在主语和敬语标记谓语之间的一致性关系检查中会出现相当大的处理困难。我们调查了两个具有不同语言使用经验背景的韩语群体：大学生和航空公司工作人员在处理韩语主谓敬语协议过程中如何管理吸引力效应。结果表明，两组在可接受性判断任务中都表现出稳定的敬语知识。在自定进度的阅读任务中，在工作场所广泛使用敬语的航空集团，受吸引效应的影响小于学生组。我们的研究结果表明，长期的语言使用经验可以调节语言用户如何管理实时句子处理中吸引力效应的潜在影响。
