Abstract

ABSTRACT According to the foveal load hypothesis, parafoveal processing is influenced by the difficulty of current foveal processing. It remains unclear whether foveal load may affect the extent of parafoveal processing. This is an important consideration given the evidence that Chinese readers may frequently pre-process word N + 2 when N + 1 is one character. Accordingly, the current study manipulated word frequency to explore the influence of foveal load on parafoveal processing of N + 2 using a 2 (foveal load: high-frequency, low-frequency) × 2 (preview condition: identical preview, pseudo-character preview) within-subject design. Main effects of foveal load were found for the foveal word N, with longer fixations for low- than for high-frequency words and a main effect of preview was also found for N + 2, with longer fixations for pseudo-character preview compared to identical preview. Crucially, there was no interaction between foveal load and preview condition, indicating that parafoveal processing of word N + 2 is not influenced by foveal load during natural Chinese reading.

中央凹负荷对N的中央凹旁加工的影响 + 2在中文阅读期间

摘要根据中央凹负荷假说，目前中央凹加工的难度会影响中央凹旁加工。目前尚不清楚中央凹负荷是否会影响中央凹旁加工的程度。这是一个重要的考虑因素，因为有证据表明，中国读者可能经常预处理单词N + N时为2 + 1是一个字符。因此，本研究通过操纵词频来探讨中央凹负荷对N的副中央凹处理的影响 + 2使用2（中央凹负荷：高频、低频） × 2（预览条件：相同预览，伪字符预览）在主题设计内。中心凹负荷的主要影响是中心凹单词N，低频率单词的注视时间比高频单词长，预览的主要影响也是N + 2，与相同预览相比，伪字符预览的固定时间更长。至关重要的是，中央凹负荷和预习条件之间没有相互作用，这表明单词N的中央凹旁处理 + 2在自然汉语阅读过程中不受中央凹负荷的影响。

期刊介绍： Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that increases theoretical understanding of human visual cognition. Studies may be concerned with any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention and search; short-term and long-term visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics that are covered by the many publication outlets for those topics.
