Two experiments tested predictions derived from serial lexical processing and parallel distributed models of eye movement control in reading. The boundary paradigm (K. Rayner, 1975) was used, and the boundary location was set either at the end of word n - 1 (the word just to the left of the target word) or at the end of word n - 2. Serial lexical processing models predict that there should be preview benefit only when the boundary is set at word n - 1 (when the target word will be the next word fixated) and no preview benefit when the boundary is set at word n - 2. Parallel lexical models, on the other hand, predict that there should be some preview benefit in both situations. Consistent with the predictions of the serial lexical processing models, there was no preview benefit for a target word when the boundary was set at the end of word n - 2. Furthermore, there was no evidence of parafoveal-on-foveal effects.
两项实验对阅读中眼动控制的序列词汇加工模型和平行分布模型所推导的预测进行了检验。采用了边界范式（K. 雷纳，1975），边界位置设置在单词n - 1（目标单词左边的那个单词）的末尾或者单词n - 2的末尾。序列词汇加工模型预测，只有当边界设置在单词n - 1处时（此时目标单词将是下一个注视的单词）才会有预视效益，而当边界设置在单词n - 2处时则没有预视效益。另一方面，平行词汇模型预测，在两种情况下都应该会有一定的预视效益。与序列词汇加工模型的预测一致，当边界设置在单词n - 2的末尾时，目标单词没有预视效益。此外，没有证据表明存在中央凹对中央凹旁的影响。
