预视加工对标点符号跳读的影响

The Effect of Preview on Punctuation Skipping during Reading

本研究采用边界范式,通过考察标点符号的预视加工来对其眼动控制机制进行探讨,操控了不同类型的预视信息(一致、不一致和非标点符号预视)。结果发现显著的预视类型主效应,一致和不一致预视条件在跳读率和注视时间上无显著差异,但两者的跳读率高于非标点符号条件,且注视时间短于非标点符号条件。该结果说明标点符号的加工可能引发了一种自动化的跳读,即当预视信息非常易于加工时,读者对该信息的加工呈现出一种自动化的状态。

In an eye movement experiment employing the boundary paradigm,we investigated the preview processing of punctuation during Chinese reading.The preview of the punctuation was manipulated,with three preview conditions:identical,dissimilar and non-punctuation preview.The main effect of preview type was significant,which showed that there existed no significant differences between the identical and dissimilar preview conditions on both the skipping rate and the fixation durations;however,the skipping rate of the identical and dissimilar preview conditions was higher than the non-punctuation condition,and the fixation durations of them were shorter than the non-punctuation conditions.The results indicate that punctuation skipping is automatic,that is,when the preview information is highly visually familiar and easy to process,it may trigger an automatic skipping program.
