Journal Title：Mental Lexicon

Mental Lexicon is an important concept in linguistics and cognitive psychology, which refers to the long-term stored lexical knowledge system in the human brain and serves as the foundation for language understanding and generation. This concept has gradually received widespread attention and research in the academic community since it was proposed by scholars such as Tressman in the 1960s. The study of psychological dictionaries originated from in-depth exploration of language cognitive processes. Tressman and other scholars first proposed the prototype of a psychological dictionary, which is composed of many entries with different thresholds. When the activation of an entry exceeds its threshold, the word is recognized. With the deepening of research, a psychological dictionary is defined as the representation of the meaning of words in human psychology, which includes various aspects of information such as pronunciation, spelling, syntax, and semantics of words.

As a core concept in linguistics and cognitive psychology, the study of 'Mental Lexicon' is of great significance in revealing the cognitive mechanisms of language, promoting interdisciplinary integration, and advancing the development of related fields. With the continuous deepening of research and the advancement of technology, the study of psychological dictionaries will achieve more fruitful results.

《心理詞典》是語言學和認知心理學中一個重要的概念，它指的是人類大腦中長期存儲的詞匯知識體系，是語言理解和生成的基礎。這一概念自20世紀60年代由特雷斯曼等學者提出以來，逐漸受到學術界的廣泛關注和研究。心理詞典的研究起源于對語言認知過程的深入探索。特雷斯曼等學者最早提出了心理詞典的雛形，認為它由許多具有不同閾限的詞條組成，當詞條的激活超過其閾限時，該詞就被認知。隨著研究的深入，心理詞典被定義為詞的意義在人的心理中的表征，它包含了詞的語音、拼寫、句法、語義等多方面的信息。

《心理詞典》作為語言學和認知心理學中的一個核心概念，其研究對于揭示語言的認知機制、促進學科交叉與融合、推動相關領域的發展具有重要意義。隨著研究的不斷深入和技術的不斷進步，心理詞典的研究將會取得更加豐碩的成果。
