37.(A) The first empirical evidence for the above stipulation comes from Conrad’s seminal study. (B) In contrast, beginners had more difficulties in identifying pictures of visually-similar items due to their holistic learning experience and reliance on a direct link between orthography (or pictures) and semantics.
