快速准确地识别熟悉的单词有助于学习新单词，以及语言习得的其他方面。本研究采用具有语义和语音竞争对手的视觉世界范式对2 ~ 5岁儿童的词汇加工效率进行了研究。实验1发现该范式对词汇量差异敏感。实验二包括一组更多样化的孩子，他们用母语（非裔美国英语或主流美国英语）进行测试。刺激方言对实验结果无影响。结果表明，词汇量比母亲受教育程度更能预测眼球注视模式，但母亲受教育程度有调节作用；随着受教育程度的提高，词汇量对词汇加工效率的预测作用减弱。
Recognizing familiar words quickly and accurately facilitates learning new words, as well as other aspects of language acquisition. This study used the visual world paradigm with semantic and phonological competitors to study lexical processing efficiency in 2- to 5-year-old children. Experiment 1 found this paradigm was sensitive to vocabulary- size differences. Experiment 2 included a more diverse group of children who were tested in their native dialect (either African American English or mainstream American English). No effect of stimulus dialect was observed. The results showed that vocabulary size was a better predictor of eye gaze patterns than was maternal education, but that maternal education level had a moderating effect; as maternal education level increased, vocabulary size was less predictive of lexical processing efficiency.
