本研究采用眼动追踪技术和视觉世界范式相结合的方法，探讨了汉字视觉识别过程中偏旁的位置信息、语音信息和语义信息的激活机制。当参与者看四种类型的发明语标字符时，他们的眼球运动被跟踪，其中包括法律的中的语义根（例如，）和非法位置（），法律的中的语音根（例如，）和非法位置（例如，).这些语标字符与声音提示（例如，/qiao2/）或含义提示（例如，桥的图片）状况。参与者似乎对处于法律的而不是非法位置的激进分子分配了更多的视觉注意力。此外，更多的眼睛注视发生在语音上，而不是语义上，在声音和意义线索条件下的部首，表明参与者在视觉字符处理中对语音的强烈偏好超过语义部首。这些结果强调了汉语非拼音语标字加工的普遍音系学原则。
Combining eye-tracking technique with a revised visual world paradigm, this study examined how positional, phonological, and semantic information of radicals are activated in visual Chinese character recognition. Participants' eye movements were tracked when they looked at four types of invented logographic characters including a semantic radical in the legal (e.g., ) and illegal positions (), a phonetic radical in the legal (e.g., ) and illegal positions (e.g., ). These logographic characters were presented simultaneously with either a sound-cued (e.g., /qiao2/) or meaning-cued (e.g., a picture of a bridge) condition. Participants appeared to allocate more visual attention towards radicals in legal, rather than illegal, positions. In addition, more eye fixations occurred on phonetic, rather than on semantic, radicals across both sound- and meaning-cued conditions, indicating participants' strong preference for phonetic over semantic radicals in visual character processing. These results underscore the universal phonology principle in processing non-alphabetic Chinese logographic characters.
