Abstract

Word search puzzles are recognized as a valid word recognition task. Eye gaze patterns have been investigated during visual search and reading, but the word search puzzle requires both searching and word recognition. This paper will discuss findings from an eye-tracking study of word search puzzles in three languages, of varying fluency for the participants. Results indicated that participants employ a search strategy that is somewhat dependent on language fluency and varies from a rigid, structured search pattern to randomly searching for a target word. The majority of gaze measurements are not significantly influenced by either word length or fluency of presented language, although mean fixation durations are longer for shorter words.

多语言文字搜索谜题的视觉搜索模式，一个试点研究

单词搜索谜题被认为是一项有效的单词识别任务。人们已经在视觉搜索和阅读过程中研究了眼睛的凝视模式，但单词搜索难题需要搜索和单词识别。本文将讨论一项对三种语言单词搜索谜题的眼动追踪研究结果，参与者的流利程度各不相同。结果表明，参与者采用的搜索策略在一定程度上取决于语言流利程度，从僵化的结构化搜索模式到随机搜索目标词。大多数凝视测量不受单词长度或所呈现语言的流利性的显著影响，尽管较短单词的平均注视持续时间较长。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
