The ergonomic study on the reading process of isolating language without Kanji characters

本研究通过测量眼动来考察不含汉字的孤立语言的特点。人们注意到，当人们阅读泰语时，由于难度增加而凝视的次数和凝视时间都增加了。这与阅读日语时的倾向不同。阅读泰语所需的高水平认知处理被认为是造成这种差异的原因之一。根据固定点分析，没有对形态要素的固定。没有观察到外围搜索引导(PSG)占优势的趋势，但观察到了专注于单词的尾辅音的趋势。韵母与常用辅音具有相同的形式，因此不可能仅通过日语和英语等语言中的形态特征来区分两者。此外，认知搜索导引(CSG)必须在视觉搜索中占据主导地位。泰语每一次注视的信息量比日语和德语多20-30位。它提出，这是一种认知特征

In this study , it is examined the characteristics of an isolating language without Kanji characters bymeasuring eye movement. It is noticed that when people read Thai, both the number of fixations due toan increase in difficulty and the amount of fixation time increased. This is different from tendencieswhen reading Japanese. The high level of cognitive processing required in reading Thai was suggestedas a reason for this difference. According to a fixation point analysis, there is no fixation onmorphological elements. The tendency in which peripheral search guidance (PSG) is dominant has notbeen observed; however, the tendency of fixating on the final consonant of a word was observed. A finalconsonant has the same form as a commonly used consonant, making it impossible to distinguishbetween the two only through morphological characteristics in languages like Japanese and English. Inaddition, the cognitive search guidance (CSG) must dominate in a visual search. The informationcapacity per one fixation in Thai contains 20-30 bits more than that in Japanese and German. It issuggested that this is a cognitive characteristic
