Analyses carried out on a large corpus of eye movement data were used to comment on four contentious theoretical issues. The results provide no evidence that word frequency and word predictability have early interactive effects on inspection time. Contrary to some earlier studies, in these data there is little evidence that properties of a prior word generally spill over and influence current processing. In contrast, there is evidence that both the frequency and the predictability of a word in parafoveal vision influence foveal processing. In the case of predictability, the direction of the effect suggests that more predictable parafoveal words produce longer foveal fixations. Finally, there is evidence that information about word class modulates processing over a span greater than a single word. The results support the notion of distributed parallel processing.
对大量眼动数据语料库进行的分析被用于对四个有争议的理论问题进行评论。结果表明，没有证据表明词频和词可预测性对注视时间有早期交互作用。与一些早期研究相反，在这些数据中几乎没有证据表明先前单词的属性通常会溢出并影响当前的加工过程。相比之下，有证据表明旁中央凹视觉中单词的频率和可预测性都会影响中央凹加工。就可预测性而言，这种效应的方向表明，更具可预测性的旁中央凹单词会产生更长的中央凹注视时间。最后，有证据表明关于词类的信息在大于单个单词的跨度上调节加工过程。这些结果支持分布式并行加工的概念。
