Abstract: Previous research has examined parafoveal processing during silent reading, but little is known about the role of these processes in oral reading. In the present study, by using moving window paradigm, we manipulated the parafoveal information available to readers by changing the size of a gaze-contingent moving window(a one-word window, a three-word window, and normal reading condition), and compared the role of parafoveal processing during Chinese silent and oral reading. The results showed that readers made longer and more fixations in oral reading compared to silent reading, as they required more attentional resources when reading aloud. More importantly, the availability of parafoveal information increased reading speed in both oral and silent reading. However, the effects of parafoveal information were larger in silent reading than in oral reading. Thus, the availability of parafoveal information modulates both oral and silent reading of Chinese.

摘要: 以往研究者对默读过程中的副中央凹加工进行了大量研究,但很少探讨这一加工进程在朗读过程中的作用。本研究采用移动窗口范式,通过改变移动注视窗口的大小来操纵副中央凹获得的信息量(1字窗口、3字窗口和正常阅读),探讨在中文默读和朗读条件下副中央凹获得的信息量的差异。结果表明,朗读比默读占用更多的资源,与默读相比,朗读时的注视时间更长、注视次数更多;重要的是,副中央凹信息可以提高朗读和默读过程中的阅读速度。然而,与朗读过程相比,副中央凹信息的促进作用在默读过程中更为明显。因此,副中央凹信息量对中文朗读和默读都起着调节的作用。
