阅读中的E-Z Reader 10眼动模型(Reichle,Warren,& McConnell,2009)假定单词识别的过程严格先于单词整合到其句法和语义上下文中的过程。本研究报告了一个单一的大规模(N = 112)的眼动实验中,在每个句子中的目标词的频率和可重复性被factorially操纵。结果与E-Z Reader的中心预测一致:频率而不是可重复性影响了眼睛跳过单词而不是直接注视的概率,并且这两个变量对所有阅读时间测量具有相加而非交互的影响。支持零效应和零相互作用的证据通过计算贝叶斯因子获得,使用Rouder,Morey,Speckman和Province(2012)实施的ANOVA模型的默认先验和采样方法。结果表明,虽然一个词的可扩展性可能有一个可测量的影响,早在第一个固定持续时间的目标词,事实上可扩展性可能只影响后词汇处理阶段,而不是词汇识别本身。(C)2015 Elsevier Inc.

The E-Z Reader 10 model of eye movements in reading (Reichle, Warren, & McConnell, 2009) posits that the process of word identification strictly precedes the process of integration of a word into its syntactic and semantic context. The present study reports a single large-scale (N = 112) eyetracking experiment in which the frequency and plausibility of a target word in each sentence were factorially manipulated. The results were consistent with E-Z Reader's central predictions: frequency but not plausibility influenced the probability that the word was skipped over by the eyes rather than directly fixated, and the two variables had additive, not interactive, effects on all reading time measures. Evidence in favor of null effects and null interactions was obtained by computing Bayes factors, using the default priors and sampling methods for ANOVA models implemented by Rouder, Morey, Speckman, and Province (2012). The results suggest that though a word's plausibility may have a measurable influence as early as the first fixation duration on the target word, in fact plausibility may be influencing only a post-lexical processing stage, rather than lexical identification itself.
