Recent research has indicated that phonological neighbors speed processing in a variety of isolated word recognition tasks. Nevertheless, as these tasks do not represent how we normally read, it is not clear if phonological neighborhood has an effect on the reading of sentences for meaning. In the research reported here, we evaluated whether phonological neighborhood density influences reading of target words embedded in sentences. The eye movement data clearly revealed that phonological neighborhood facilitated reading. This was evidenced by shorter fixations for words with large neighborhoods relative to words with small neighborhoods. These results are important in indicating that phonology is a crucial component of reading and that it affects early lexical processing.
近期研究表明，在各种孤立单词识别任务中，语音邻接词会加快处理速度。然而，由于这些任务并不能代表我们正常的阅读方式，所以尚不清楚语音邻接性是否会对句子意义的阅读产生影响。在本文所报告的研究中，我们评估了语音邻接密度是否会影响嵌入句子中的目标单词的阅读。眼动数据清楚地表明，语音邻接性有助于阅读。相对于邻接性小的单词，邻接性大的单词注视时间更短，这证明了这一点。这些结果很重要，表明语音是阅读的关键组成部分，并且它会影响早期词汇处理。
