French readers' eye movements were monitored as they read a passage of text. Initial global analyses of word frequency, accounting for the majority of fixations in the text, revealed a good fit between the observed data and the simulated data from the E-Z Reader 7 model of eye movement control. However, the model did not perform as well on simulations of contextual predictability effects. A subset of 20 controlled words from the passage were used to examine the combined effects of frequency and predictability. Results from the observed data showed main effects of frequency and predictability but no interaction. With certain modifications, the E-Z Reader 7 model was able to adequately simulate the pattern of data. Although the E-Z Reader model successfully accounted for the present data, we believe that further modifications will be necessary in order to better account for data in the literature.
在法国读者阅读一段文本时，他们的眼动情况受到了监测。对单词频率的初步整体分析显示，文本中的大多数注视点与眼动控制的E-Z Reader 7模型的模拟数据之间拟合良好。然而，该模型在上下文可预测性效应的模拟方面表现不佳。从该段落中选取了20个受控单词的子集，以检验频率和可预测性的综合影响。观察数据的结果显示了频率和可预测性的主效应，但没有交互作用。经过某些修改后，E-Z Reader 7模型能够充分模拟数据模式。尽管E-Z Reader模型成功地解释了当前的数据，但我们认为有必要进一步修改，以便更好地解释文献中的数据。
