Development of Preview Effects on Different Type Words during Elementary School Years in Chinese Reading: Evidence from Eye Movements

Abstract

Abstract: In the present study, the boundary technique was used to explore the preview effects of different type words in Chinese reading. Sixty primary school students participated in the experiment. Their eye movements were recorded with a SR Research EyeLink 2K eye tracker. Eighty sentences were presented to examine the preview effects of participants in different conditions.The results showed: 1) Reading efficiency of primary school students was increased with the development of age. 2) Preview effects were obtained in all conditions. 3) Preview effect was equal for monomorphemic words, compound words and phrases. 4) Marginal significant parafoveal-on-foveal effect were found for words. To some extent, the current study’s results support the serial processing model.

Key words: Chinese reading, preview effect, the boundary technique, primary school, eye movements

摘要： 采用边界范式,以60名小学生为被试,探讨了小学生不同词语类型的预视效应。结果表明:(1)五年级学生表现出更高的阅读效率；(2)预视类型的主效应显著,出现明显的预视效应；(3)不同词语类型的预视效应差异不显著；(4)未出现副中央凹-中央凹效应。研究结果支持阅读眼动的序列加工模型。
