In this reply to Salverda (2016), we address a critique of the claims made in our recent study of real-time processing of American Sign Language (ASL) signs using a novel visual world eye-tracking paradigm (Lieberman, Borovsky, Hatrak, & Mayberry, 2015). Salverda asserts that our data do not support our conclusion that native signers and late-learning signers show variable patterns of activation in the presence of phonological competitors. We provide a logical rationale for our study design and present a reanalysis of our data using a modified time window, providing additional evidence for our claim. We maintain that target fixation patterns provide an important window into real-time processing of sign language. We conclude that the use of eye-tracking methods to study real-time processing in a visually perceived language such as ASL is a promising avenue for further exploration. (PsycINFO Database Record
在对萨尔韦尔达（2016年）的这一回应中，我们针对对我们近期一项研究的批评进行探讨，该研究使用一种新颖的视觉世界眼动追踪范式对美国手语（ASL）手势的实时处理展开研究（利伯曼、博罗夫斯基、哈特拉赫和梅伯里，2015年）。萨尔韦尔达断言，我们的数据并不支持我们的结论，即本土手语使用者和晚学手语使用者在存在语音竞争者的情况下表现出不同的激活模式。我们为我们的研究设计提供了逻辑依据，并使用修改后的时间窗口对我们的数据进行了重新分析，为我们的主张提供了额外证据。我们坚持认为，目标注视模式为手语实时处理提供了一个重要窗口。我们得出结论，使用眼动追踪方法来研究诸如美国手语这种视觉感知语言的实时处理是一个有前景的进一步探索途径。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》 ）
