Tracking reading comprehension: What experts reveal about the mind

这个项目计划使用专家读者来提供一个窗口来定义最佳阅读。阅读是一项复杂的技能，需要认知、感知和注意力的精确协调。通过测量熟练读者在阅读句子和短文时的眼球运动，本实验旨在探讨阅读、拼写和词汇方面的个体差异如何影响正常阅读中单词识别和理解过程的时间和协调，以及这些变化如何随着读者的目标而变化。研究结果将区分关于熟练读者如何平衡单词识别和理解过程的不同理论，这一问题对于当前关于如何教授阅读的争论至关重要。

This project plans to use expert readers to provide a window on what defines optimal reading. Reading is a complex skill that requires precise coordination of cognition, perception and attention. By measuring skilled readers’ eye movements while they read sentences and short passages, the experiments are designed to investigate how individual differences in reading, spelling and vocabulary influence the timing and coordination of word identification and comprehension processes during normal reading and how this changes with a readers' goals. The results would distinguish between competing theories of how skilled readers balance word identification and comprehension processes, an issue that is critical to current debates about how reading should be taught.
