There is ample evidence that reading speed increases when participants read the same text more than once. However, less is known about the impact of text repetition as a function of word class. Some authors suggested that text repetition would mostly benefit content words with little or no effect on function words. In the present study, we examined the effect of multiple readings on the processing of content and function words. Participants were asked to read a short text two times in direct succession. Eye movement analyses revealed the typical multiple readings effect: Repetition decreased the time readers spent fixating words and the probability of fixating critical words. Most importantly, we found that the effect of multiple readings was of the same magnitude for content and function words, and for low- and high-frequency words. Such findings suggest that lexical variables have additive effects on eye movement measures in reading.
有充分证据表明，当参与者多次阅读同一文本时，阅读速度会提高。然而，关于文本重复作为词类函数的影响，我们了解得较少。一些作者认为，文本重复主要有利于实义词，对功能词几乎没有影响。在本研究中，我们考察了多次阅读对实义词和功能词加工的影响。参与者被要求连续两次阅读一篇短文。眼动分析揭示了典型的多次阅读效应：重复减少了读者注视单词的时间以及注视关键单词的概率。最重要的是，我们发现多次阅读对实义词和功能词、低频词和高频词的影响程度相同。这些发现表明，词汇变量在阅读的眼动测量中具有累加效应。
