本研究监测了母语为汉语的阅读者在阅读含有不同词频和词频的目标词的句子时的眼动。词频对目标词的固定时间有影响，其大小与英语读者的固定时间相当。此外，词频也影响目标词的注视时间。双字词中的首字效应比次字效应更显著。词频对词频的影响是有调制作用的。高频目标词的词频效应减弱，低频目标词的词频效应显著。
Eye movements of native Chinese readers were monitored as they read sentences containing target words that varied in terms of word frequency and character frequency. There was an effect of word frequency on fixation times on a target word and it was comparable in size to that typically found with readers of English. Furthermore, character frequency also influenced fixation time on the target word. The effect of the initial character in two character words was more pronounced than that of the second character. However, word frequency modulated the effect of character frequency. The effect of character frequency was attenuated with high frequency target words while it was quite apparent with low frequency target words.
