We compared Finnish adults' and children's eye movements on long (8-letter) and short (4-letter) target words embedded in sentences, presented either normally or as disappearing text. When reading disappearing text, where refixations did not provide new information, the 8- to 9-year-old children made fewer refixations but more regressions back to long words compared to when reading normal text. This difference was not observed in the adults or 10- to 11-year-old children. We conclude that the younger children required a second visual sample on the long words, and they adapted their eye movement behaviour when reading disappearing text accordingly.
我们比较了芬兰成年人和儿童在嵌入句子中的长（8个字母）、短（4个字母）目标单词上的眼动情况，这些单词以正常形式或消失文本的形式呈现。在阅读消失文本时，由于重读不能提供新信息，8至9岁的儿童与阅读正常文本时相比，重读次数减少，但回视长单词的次数增多。在成年人或10至11岁的儿童中未观察到这种差异。我们得出结论，年幼的儿童需要对长单词进行第二次视觉采样，并且他们在阅读消失文本时相应地调整了自己的眼动行为。
