句子阅读中的单词识别受到预览和上下文信息的影响。最近，观察到语义预览效果（SPE）受到上下文约束的调节，这表明上下文可能会加速语义相关预览词的处理。此外，SPE 还依赖于预览时间，这表明 SPE 可能会随着预览词的不同处理阶段而变化。因此，这就提出了预览时间相关的 SPE 是否会受到上下文约束的调节的问题。在本研究中，我们不仅研究了语境约束对中文阅读中 SPE 的影响，还研究了其对预习时间的依赖性。预览词和目标词相同、语义相关或与目标词无关。结果显示出显着的三向交互：SPE 取决于上下文约束和预览时间。在对目标词的低上下文约束和高上下文约束的单独分析中，当目标词在句子中具有低约束时，SPE随着预览持续时间的增加而显着下降。当目标词在句子中受到高度限制时，效果在数字上是相同方向的，但较弱并且在统计上不显着。结果表明，句子中的文字处理是一个整合来自预览（自下而上）和上下文（自上而下）信息的动态过程。
Word recognition in sentence reading is influenced by information from both preview and context. Recently, semantic preview effect (SPE) was observed being modulated by the constraint of context, indicating that context might accelerate the processing of semantically related preview words. Besides, SPE was found to depend on preview time, which suggests that SPE may change with different processing stages of preview words. Therefore, it raises the question of whether preview time-dependent SPE would be modulated by contextual constraint. In this study, we not only investigated the impact of contextual constraint on SPE in Chinese reading but also examined its dependency on preview time. The preview word and the target word were identical, semantically related or unrelated to the target word. The results showed a significant three-way interaction: The SPE depended on contextual constraint and preview time. In separate analyses for low and high contextual constraint of target words, the SPE significantly decreased with an increase in preview duration when the target word was of low constraint in the sentence. The effect was numerically in the same direction but weaker and statistically nonsignificant when the target word was highly constrained in the sentence. The results indicate that word processing in sentences is a dynamic process of integrating information from both preview (bottom-up) and context (top-down).
