Abstract: This research aims to examine the repetition blindness in processing Chinese reduplicated words in RSVP and to differentiate the accounts of RB about type-token individuation theory and construction theory. 178 participants (96 in Experiment 1 and 82 in Experiment 2 respectively) were asked to give oral report of the word lists which contained repeated words (e.g. Chinese reduplicated words) or non-repeated words in the full-report task and the partial-report task. The full-report task required readers to report all of the words in lists, whatever repeated or non-repeated words. Whereas the partial task asked them just to report the last two words. The duration of each word in list was 128ms in the first experiment and 198ms in the second experiment according to Wang and Zhang (2005). The results showed that (1) When presentation rates was on 128ms per word (in Experiment 1) and 198ms per word (Experiment 2), RB occurred in processing repeated Chinese characters in both the full-report task and the partial-report task. But RB was reduced in the partial-report task compared to the full-report. The construction theory could explain the result. (2) In the full-report task, the correct rate of words report was reduced, no only in repeated stimuli list but also in non-repeated stimuli list in RSVP. The results accorded with the suggestion of the construction theory. These results indicated that it was the construction theory that could give more reasonable explanation of RB.
