摘要 对字母文字的研究表明，提供无效的中央凹预览可以消除或减弱上下文可预测性对单词识别的影响，揭示这种影响取决于自上而下的上下文期望和自下而上的感知信息之间的相互作用。在像中文这样的基于字符的文字中是否观察到类似的效果尚不清楚。然而，这些知识将扩展我们对不同书写系统中上下文预测的理解。因此，我们使用边界范式进行了眼动实验，以评估具有有效和无效的旁中心预览的目标词处理的上下文可预测性效果。在早期阅读时间中观察到可预测性和预习有效性之间的相互作用，但目标跳词却没有观察到。这表明自上而下和自下而上过程之间的相互作用驱动了中文阅读中的语境处理，但跳字在该脚本中并没有受到语境期望的强烈调节。我们认为这些发现与字母和非字母书写系统之间的差异有关。
ABSTRACT Research with alphabetic scripts shows that providing an invalid parafoveal preview eliminates or diminishes effects of contextual predictability on word identification, revealing that such effects depend on the interplay between top-down contextual expectations and bottom-up perceptual information. Whether similar effects are observed in character-based scripts like Chinese is unknown. However, such knowledge would extend our understanding of contextual prediction in different writing systems. Accordingly, we conducted an eye movement experiment using the boundary paradigm to assess contextual predictability effects on the processing of target words with valid and invalid parafoveal previews. Interactions between predictability and preview validity were observed in early reading times but not word-skipping for targets. This suggests an interplay between top-down and bottom-up processes drives contextual processing in Chinese reading, but that word-skipping is not strongly mediated by contextual expectations in this script. We consider these findings in relation to differences between alphabetic and non-alphabetic writing systems.
