The present proposal is a request for equipment support for a five-year NSERC Discovery research program entitled "Individual differences in visual recognition of morphologically complex words". A key part of this program is a series of experiments on reading of words with complex structure ("hope+ful"; "walk+s") in sentence contexts. We propose to use eye-tracking, or registration of participants' eye-movements during reading, as the state-of-the-art experimental technique in reading research. As has been widely demonstrated, temporal and spatial characteristics of eye-movements are indicative of the difficulty of cognitive processing of read materials. With the recorded eye-movements as dependent variables, we will be able to establish the role that individual cognitive (verbal and non-verbal) skills play in the processing of morphology.

目前的提案是一个为期五年的NSERC发现研究项目的设备支持请求，该项目名为“形态学复杂单词视觉识别中的个体差异”。这个项目的一个关键部分是一系列在句子语境中阅读复杂结构单词（“hope+ful”；“walk+s”）的实验。我们建议在阅读研究中使用眼动追踪技术，即记录参与者在阅读过程中的眼球运动。眼球运动的时空特征反映了阅读材料认知加工的难度。将记录的眼球运动作为因变量，我们将能够确定个体认知（语言和非语言）技能在形态学处理中所起的作用。
