Two experiments using duration exposures ranging from 20 to 130 msec are reported that link reading skill in adults to the initial encoding of location information. Highly skilled and less skilled readers were equivalent in identifying single letters presented at a central fixation point. When they had to identify the serial position of a letter, however, highly skilled readers performed significantly more accurately than did less skilled readers. A second experiment used displays that consisted of one letter and three dollar signs. Subjects had to identify the letter under two location cuing conditions. When subjects were cued in advance as to which serial position would contain the letter, highly skilled and less skilled readers were equivalent. When the location of the letter had to be resolved prior to identification, highly skilled readers performed significantly more accurately than did less skilled readers. Results are interpreted to suggest that the role of perception in reading has been underestimated because emphasis has been on item perception, and the perception of spatial location has been largely overlooked.
报告了两项实验，其使用的持续时间曝光范围为20至130毫秒，这些实验将成年人的阅读技能与位置信息的初始编码联系起来。在识别呈现于中央注视点的单个字母时，高技能读者和低技能读者表现相当。然而，当他们必须识别字母的顺序位置时，高技能读者的表现明显比低技能读者更准确。第二项实验使用了由一个字母和三个美元符号组成的显示。受试者必须在两种位置提示条件下识别字母。当提前向受试者提示哪个顺序位置会包含字母时，高技能读者和低技能读者表现相当。当必须在识别之前确定字母的位置时，高技能读者的表现明显比低技能读者更准确。结果被解释为表明，由于一直强调项目感知，而很大程度上忽视了空间位置的感知，阅读中感知的作用被低估了。
