本实验研究了在阅读过程中，阅读文本的性质是否影响眼睛的双眼协调。当读者阅读包含高频和低频单词的句子时，他们的双眼眼球运动被记录下来。此外，一半的句子以正常情况呈现，一半以交替情况呈现（即，AlTeRnAtInG cAsE）。过去的研究表明，视觉系统对交替的双眼注视视差的耐受性比正常情况下要低（Heller & Radach，1999）。虽然词频和交替的情况下产生了很大的影响，对目标词的固定持续时间，既不操纵影响固定差距的大小。研究结果表明，在阅读过程中，阅读文本的语言和视觉特性并不影响双眼的协调。进一步的分析也表明，阅读和非语言任务之间的固定差异没有差异。这些结果的影响分裂中心凹模型的阅读进行了讨论。
This experiment investigated whether properties of the text being read affect binocular coordination of the eyes during reading. Readers' binocular eye movements were recorded while they read sentences that contained high- and low-frequency words. In addition, half of the sentences were presented in normal case, and half were presented in alternating case (i.e., AlTeRnAtInG cAsE). Past research has suggested that the visual system tolerates less binocular fixation disparity with alternating than with normal case (Heller & Radach, 1999). While both word frequency and alternating case produced large effects on fixation durations on the target word, neither manipulation affected the magnitude of fixation disparity. It is concluded that linguistic and visual properties of the text being read do not influence binocular coordination of the eyes during reading. Additional analyses also showed no difference in fixation disparity between reading and a nonlinguistic task. Implications of these results for split-fovea models of reading are discussed.
