The goal of the present set of experiments was to identify the conditions under which readers evoked prepotent-response inhibition to prevent interference from reactivated misconceptions. In Experiment 1, participants with varying inhibition ability read refutation texts that addressed common misconceptions and control texts. Overall, participants read target sentences that stated the correct idea faster in the refutation texts than in the control texts, suggesting that refutation texts were sufficient to reduce interference from misconceptions and facilitate knowledge revision. In the control texts, participants with higher inhibition ability read target sentences slower than participants with lower inhibition ability, suggesting that participants with higher inhibition ability may have engaged in some extra processing to cope with the interference from misconceptions. In Experiment 2, we used a probe-verification paradigm to evaluate the extent to which readers’ misconceptions were indeed reactivated during reading of the control texts. Results showed no evidence of reactivation in the refutation texts, but misconceptions continued to be reactivated in the control texts. Taken together, these findings suggest that prepotent-response inhibition may be one means by which readers manage interference from reactivated misconceptions from prior knowledge.

减少误解的干扰：抑制在知识修正中的作用。

本组实验的目标是确定读者在何种条件下诱发优势反应抑制，以防止重新激活的误解造成干扰。在实验 1 中，具有不同抑制能力的参与者阅读了解决常见误解和控制文本的反驳文本。总体而言，参与者在反驳文本中比在对照文本中更快地阅读陈述正确想法的目标句子，表明反驳文本足以减少误解的干扰并促进知识修订。在控制文本中，抑制能力较高的参与者阅读目标句子的速度比抑制能力较低的参与者慢，这表明具有较高抑制能力的参与者可能已经进行了一些额外的处理以应对来自误解的干扰。在实验 2 中，我们使用探针验证范式来评估在阅读控制文本期间确实重新激活读者误解的程度。结果显示在反驳文本中没有重新激活的证据，但在控制文本中继续重新激活误解。综上所述，这些发现表明，优势反应抑制可能是读者管理来自先验知识重新激活的误解的干扰的一种手段。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）我们使用探针验证范式来评估读者在阅读控制文本期间确实重新激活了误解的程度。结果显示在反驳文本中没有重新激活的证据，但在控制文本中继续重新激活误解。综上所述，这些发现表明，优势反应抑制可能是读者管理来自先验知识重新激活的误解的干扰的一种手段。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）我们使用探针验证范式来评估读者在阅读控制文本期间确实重新激活了误解的程度。结果显示在反驳文本中没有重新激活的证据，但在控制文本中继续重新激活误解。综上所述，这些发现表明，优势反应抑制可能是读者管理来自先验知识重新激活的误解的干扰的一种手段。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）这些发现表明，优势反应抑制可能是读者管理来自先前知识重新激活的误解的干扰的一种手段。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）这些发现表明，优势反应抑制可能是读者管理来自先前知识重新激活的误解的干扰的一种手段。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）
