In an eye-tracking experiment, participants read sentences containing a monosyllabic (e.g., grain) or a disyllabic (e.g., cargo) five-letter word. Monosyllabic target words were skipped more often than disyllabic target words, indicating that syllabic structure was extracted from the parafovea early enough to influence the decision of saccade target selection. Fixation times on the target word when it was fixated did not show an influence of number of syllables, demonstrating that number of syllables differentially impacts skipping rates and fixation durations during reading.

在一项眼动实验中，参与者阅读包含一个单音节（如 grain）或双音节（如 cargo）的五个字母的单词的句子。单音节目标词比双音节目标词更容易被跳过，这表明音节结构从视幅外很早就被提取出来，从而影响了扫视目标选择的决策。当目标词被注视时，注视时间并没有受到音节数的影响，这表明音节数在阅读过程中会对跳过率和注视持续时间产生不同的影响。
