This study was conducted to explore the differences in the degree of attention given to Chinese print and pictures by children and adults when they read picture books with and without Chinese words. We used an eye tracker from SensoMotoric Instruments to record the visual fixations of the subjects. The results showed that the adults paid more attention to Chinese print and looked at the print sooner than the children did. The stronger the children's receptive language abilities were, the less time it took them to view the pictures. All participants spent the same amount of time looking at the pictures whether Chinese words were present or absent.
本研究旨在探讨儿童和成人在阅读有中文文字和没有中文文字的图画书时，对中文文字和图片的关注程度差异。我们使用了SensoMotoric Instruments公司的眼动仪来记录受试者的视觉注视情况。结果显示，成人比儿童更关注中文文字，且比儿童更早看向文字。儿童的接受性语言能力越强，他们看图片所花的时间就越少。无论有无中文文字，所有参与者看图片的时间相同。
