The research on contextual predictability in reading has been thoroughly investigated in the context of horizontal text comprehension. However, the performance of contextual predictive effects in Mongolian vertical reading remains unknown.
To explore this, we conducted an eye-tracking study using a boundary paradigm. Our study aimed to investigate contextual predictability and preview effects in Mongolian reading.
We found significant main effects of predictability and previewing on temporal indicators. However, there were no significant effects on skipping rates, and no interaction between predictability and previewing was observed.
We speculate that the unique reading orientation and writing features of Mongolian, compared to horizontally read phonetic scripts, reduce the parafoveal processing of preview information, leading to lower skipping rates in Mongolian reading.
阅读中语境可预测性的研究已在水平文本理解的背景下得到了充分调查。然而,蒙古文竖排阅读中语境预测效应的表现仍不为人知。
为了探究这一点,我们使用边界范式进行了一项眼动追踪研究。我们的研究旨在调查蒙古文阅读中的语境可预测性和预视效应。
我们发现可预测性和预视对时间指标有显著的主效应。然而,对跳读率没有显著影响,并且未观察到可预测性和预视之间的交互作用。
我们推测,与水平阅读的拼音文字相比,蒙古文独特的阅读方向和书写特征减少了对预视信息的副中央凹加工,导致蒙古文阅读中的跳读率较低。
