当前的阅读过程眼动控制模型对中央凹对中央凹效应的可能性做出了不同的预测,即即将到来的中央凹单词的词汇特性是否会影响阅读时间。迄今为止,从相关语料库分析和仔细控制的实验研究中,关于这些效应的存在存在着相互矛盾的发现。为了解决这一争议,我们进行了四项实验研究(总N = 244),调查了自然阅读过程中旁中央凹词频的影响。这些实验表明,在一个本应高度有利于并行词汇处理的环境中,没有证据表明有旁中央凹-中央凹效应。此外,对先前实验文献的贝叶斯因子荟萃分析也为原假设提供了明确的支持。这些发现证实了系列注意力模型(如E-Z Reader)的预测,并对先前相关语料库研究的结果提出了质疑。(C) 2017爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Current models of eye movement control during reading make different predictions regarding the possibility of parafoveal-on-foveal effects - i.e. whether the lexical properties of upcoming, parafoveal words can affect reading time. To date, there have been contradictory findings from correlational corpus analyses and carefully controlled experimental studies regarding the existence of these effects. To address this controversy, we conducted four experimental studies (total N = 244) investigating the effects of parafoveal word frequency during natural reading. These experiments showed no evidence for parafovealon-foveal effects in an environment that should have been highly conducive to parallel lexical processing. In addition, a Bayes Factor meta-analysis of the prior experimental literature also provided clear support for the null hypothesis. These findings confirm the predictions of serial attention models such as E-Z Reader, and call into question the findings of previous correlational corpus studies. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
