Using a gaze-contingent moving-window paradigm, we investigated whether/how deafness affects perceptual processing in Chinese reading. Besides the manipulation of window size, word length of sentences used in the experiment was also manipulated to check whether deafness enhanced the word length effect on perceptual span. Significant interactions of window constraints and deafness and a three-way interaction were observed on reading rate. Smaller effects of window constraints for deaf Chinese readers and nonreliable three-way interactions were observed on forward saccade length. This suggests that deaf Chinese readers exhibit a larger perceptual span, and word length affected the span from which information was acquired for comprehension whereas both deafness and word length might have little impact on the span from which information is acquired for oculomotor targeting during natural reading of Chinese.
我们采用注视相关移动窗口范式，研究耳聋是否以及如何影响中文阅读中的知觉加工。除了窗口大小的操作外，实验中还操纵句子的词长，以检查耳聋是否增强了词长对知觉广度的影响。在阅读速度上观察到窗口约束和耳聋的显著交互作用以及三向交互作用。在向前眼跳长度上观察到较小的窗口约束对聋人汉语读者的影响和不可靠的三向交互作用。这表明聋人汉语读者表现出更大的知觉广度，词长影响了用于理解的信息获取范围，而耳聋和词长可能对中文自然阅读中用于眼动目标的信息获取范围几乎没有影响。
