母语为透明性别系统的语言的人可以使用性别线索来预测即将到来的单词。为了检查这是否也适用于不透明的双向性别系统，即荷兰人，当参与者遵循口头指令点击屏幕上四个显示项目之一时（例如，单击$$de_{COM}$$rode阿佩尔$$_{COM}$$，“单击$$_\martrm {COM}$$红苹果$$_\martrm {COM}$$”）。这些项目包含目标，颜色和/或性别匹配的竞争对手，和两个无关的干扰。混合效应回归分析表明，存在颜色匹配和/或性别匹配的竞争者显着减缓了寻找目标的过程。然而，性别效应只在普通名词中观察到，这反映了中性性别标记不能消除歧义的事实，因为所有荷兰名词在用作小型名词时都会变得中性。普通名词的性别效应发生在名词开始之前，这表明性别信息至少部分地在遇到名词之前被自动激活。
Native speakers of languages with transparent gender systems can use gender cues to anticipate upcoming words. To examine whether this also holds true for a non-transparent two-way gender system, i.e. Dutch, eye movements were monitored as participants followed spoken instructions to click on one of four displayed items on a screen (e.g., Klik op$$de_{COM}$$rode appel$$_{COM}$$, ‘Click on the$$_\mathrm{COM}$$ red apple$$_\mathrm{COM}$$’). The items contained the target, a colour- and/or gender-matching competitor, and two unrelated distractors. A mixed-effects regression analysis revealed that the presence of a colour-matching and/or gender-matching competitor significantly slowed the process of finding the target. The gender effect, however, was only observed for common nouns, reflecting the fact that neuter gender-marking cannot disambiguate as all Dutch nouns become neuter when used as diminutives. The gender effect for common nouns occurred before noun onset, suggesting that gender information is, at least partially, activated automatically before encountering the noun.
