两项研究探讨了话语和场景处理之间的相互作用，通过监测眼动在代理-动作-病人的事件，而参与者听相关的话语。实验一的目的是确定是否以及何时将所描绘的事件用于暂时歧义的英语句子的主题角色分配和结构消歧。在动词识别相关的描述动作后不久，事件场景中的眼动显示出了去歧义现象。实验2考察了语言/世界知识和场景信息的相对重要性。当动词确定要么只有刻板的代理人（nondescribed）的行动，或（nonstereotypic）代理人的描述行动相关，动词为基础的主题知识和描述的行动，每一个迅速影响理解。相比之下，当动词确定这两个代理相关，凝视模式建议优先依赖的理解所描绘的事件在刻板的主题知识为主题的解释。我们将我们的发现与语言理解和习得理论联系起来。
Two studies investigated the interaction between utterance and scene processing by monitoring eye movements in agent-action-patient events, while participants listened to related utterances. The aim of Experiment 1 was to determine if and when depicted events are used for thematic role assignment and structural disambiguation of temporarily ambiguous English sentences. Shortly after the verb identified relevant depicted actions, eye movements in the event scenes revealed disarnbiguation. Experiment 2 investigated the relative importance of linguistic/world knowledge and scene information. When the verb identified either only the stereotypical agent of a (nondepicted) action, or the (nonstereotypical) agent of a depicted action as relevant, verb-based thematic knowledge and depicted action each rapidly influenced comprehension. In contrast, when the verb identified both of these agents as relevant, the gaze pattern suggested a preferred reliance of comprehension on depicted events over stereotypical thematic knowledge forthematic interpretation. We relate our findings to language comprehension and acquisition theories.
