The present study utilized a new experimental set-up synchronizing eye movements and head motion for investigating referential change occurring in a reading task. We examined the effects of a change in narrative perspective during reading on eye movements and head motion. Forty-four participants read texts on a digital tablet, and both participants' eye movements and head movements were recorded using eye tracker and motion capture. The results showed longer eye fixation duration, longer reading time and decreasing head motions when perspective changed. Recent studies have supported the dynamic engagement hypothesis suggesting that there is a fluctuation in cognitive engagement reflected by postural movements. Our findings on head movements seem to validate this hypothesis of a bodily engagement in reading. The results provided by our study showed that the novel methodology of eye and head movement recordings we used was proven to be informative in studying the reader's embodiment during reading.
本研究采用了一种新的实验装置，同步眼动和头部运动，以研究阅读任务中发生的指称变化。我们研究了阅读过程中叙事视角的变化对眼动和头部运动的影响。44名参与者在数字平板电脑上阅读文本，使用眼动仪和动作捕捉设备记录参与者的眼动和头部运动。结果表明，视角变化时，注视持续时间更长、阅读时间更长，且头部运动减少。最近的研究支持了动态参与假说，该假说认为姿势运动反映了认知参与的波动。我们关于头部运动的研究结果似乎证实了这种阅读中身体参与的假说。我们的研究结果表明，我们使用的眼动和头部运动记录的新方法在研究阅读过程中读者的具身化方面被证明是有价值的。
