Abstract

Whether increased foveal load causes a reduction of parafoveal processing remains equivocal. The present study examined foveal load effects on parafoveal processing in natural Chinese reading. Parafoveal preview of a single-character parafoveal target word was manipulated by using the boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975; pseudocharacter or identity previews) under high foveal load (low-frequency pretarget word) compared with low foveal load (high-frequency pretarget word) conditions. Despite an effective manipulation of foveal processing load, we obtained no evidence of any modulatory influence on parafoveal processing in first-pass reading times. However, our results clearly showed that saccadic targeting, in relation to forward saccade length from the pretarget word and in relation to target word skipping, was influenced by foveal load and this influence occurred independent of parafoveal preview. Given the optimal experimental conditions, these results provide very strong evidence that preview benefit is not modulated by foveal lexical load during Chinese reading.

中文阅读中中央凹词汇加工负荷对中央凹旁预览和跳眼目标的影响。

是否增加的中央凹负荷导致减少中央凹旁处理仍然是模棱两可的。本研究考察了自然汉语阅读中中央凹负荷对中央凹旁加工的影响。使用边界范式对单字符目标词的旁中央凹预览进行操作(Rayner, 1975;伪特征或身份预览)在高中央凹负载(低频预目标词)条件下与低中央凹负载(高频预目标词)条件下进行了比较。尽管可以有效地控制中央凹处理负荷，但我们没有发现任何证据表明在第一次阅读时中央凹旁处理有任何调节影响。然而，我们的研究结果清楚地表明，与前目标词的前扫视长度和目标词跳跃相关的扫视目标受到中央凹负荷的影响，而且这种影响与中央凹旁预览无关。在最佳实验条件下，这些结果提供了非常有力的证据，证明汉语阅读时的预习效果不受中央凹词汇负荷的调节。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c) 2019 APA，版权所有)。
