本研究响应了对更生态有效的心理语言学研究的呼吁（Spivey & Cardon，2015），通过研究读者如何在阅读长的真实文本时附带获得多方面的词汇知识。本研究采用眼动追踪的方法，探讨了不熟悉词汇的加工过程是如何随着重复暴露而发生变化的，以及重复暴露和加工过程是如何影响词汇学习的。在两个阶段中，以英语为母语和非英语为母语的人阅读了一本包含达里语单词的地道英语小说的五章。在阅读之后，参与者接受了一次理解测试和三次突击词汇测试。生长曲线建模显示阅读时间呈非线性下降，呈S形曲线。接触次数是词汇学习（形式和意义）的最强预测因子，而总的阅读时间独立地有助于词汇意义的学习。因此，词汇加工的数量和质量都有助于词汇的渐进式发展，并可能在读者的眼动记录中有所不同。
This study responds to the call for more ecologically valid psycholinguistic research (Spivey & Cardon, 2015) by examining how readers incidentally acquire multifaceted vocabulary knowledge while reading a long, authentic text. Using eye tracking, we explore how the processing of unfamiliar words changes with repeated exposure and how the repeated exposure and processing affect word learning. In two sessions, native and non-native English speakers read five chapters of an authentic English novel containing Dari words. After reading, participants received a comprehension test and three surprise vocabulary tests. Growth curve modeling revealed a non-linear decrease in reading times that followed an S shaped curve. Number of exposures was the strongest predictor of vocabulary learning (form and meaning), while total reading time independently contributed to the learning of word meaning. Thus, both quantity and quality of lexical processing aid incremental vocabulary development and may reveal themselves differently in readers' eye movement records.
