在两个实验中，我们探索了说话者的眼睛注视可用于消除自发对话中所指表达歧义的时间过程和灵活性。天真的导演/匹配者对被屏障隔开，看到了彼此的脸，但看不到他们的表演。显示器上放置着相同的物体，匹配器排成一排，导演则镜像匹配器的物体，或者排成一个圆圈（实验1）或倒排（实验2）。董事指示匹配者移动目标，这些目标是独特的或附近或远处有竞争对手。当镜像显示器与竞争对手相距甚远时，匹配者会在语言消歧点之前利用导演的目光来识别目标。反向显示引起了激烈的竞争，但匹配器仍然在语言消歧点之前识别出目标，显示出快速重新映射导演视线的能力。我们的研究结果表明，目光注视是指代交流中一种强大而灵活的消歧线索。 (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
In two experiments, we explored the time course and flexibility with which speakers' eye gaze can be used to disambiguate referring expressions in spontaneous dialog. Naive director/matcher pairs were separated by a barrier and saw each other's faces but not their displays. Displays held identical objects, with the matcher's arranged in a row and the director's mirroring the matcher's or else in a circle (Experiment 1) or in a reversed row (Experiment 2). Directors instructed matchers to move targets, which were unique or had a competitor nearby or far away. When mirrored displays held far competitors, matchers used directors' eye gaze to identify targets before the linguistic point of disambiguation. Reversed displays caused substantial competition, yet matchers still identified targets before the linguistic point of disambiguation, showing an ability to rapidly re-map directors' eye gaze. Our findings indicate eye gaze is a powerful and flexible disambiguating cue in referential communication. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
