读者的眼睛运动在阅读包含词汇模棱两可的单词的句子时受到监测。模棱两可的单词要么是有偏见的(一种强烈的解释),要么是偏见的。读者的目光持续时间比偏见的单词更长,而偏见的信息遵循目标单词。在实验1中,在歧义单词上的阅读时间没有差异,是否立即遵循目标单词或以后发生几个单词。在实验2中,先前的歧义消除了无偏见的目标单词上的长时间持续时间,但如果上下文要求下属含义,则导致偏见的目标单词的持续时间。结果表明,成功将一种含义与先验上下文的成功集成终止了对该单词的替代含义的搜索。当主导含义的集成快速(由于有偏见的上下文)和从属含义的识别是缓慢的(具有低频含义的强烈偏见的歧义,这会导致选择性(单含义)访问。
Readers' eye movements were monitored as they read sentences containing lexically ambiguous words. The ambiguous words were either biased (one strongly dominant interpretation) or nonbiased. Readers' gaze durations were longer on nonbiased than biased words when the disambiguating information followed the target word. In Experiment 1, reading times on the disambiguating word did not differ whether the disambiguation followed the target word immediately or occurred several words later. In Experiment 2, prior disambiguation eliminated the long gaze durations on nonbiased target words but resulted in long gaze durations on biased target words if the context demanded the subordinate meaning. The results indicate that successful integration of one meaning with prior context terminates the search for alternative meanings of that word. This results in selective (single meaning) access when integration of a dominant meaning is fast (due to a biasing context) and identification of a subordinate meaning is slow (a strongly biased ambiguity with a low-frequency meaning).
