Recent eye-movement evidence suggests readers are more likely to skip a high-frequency word than a low-frequency word independently of the semantic or syntactic acceptability of the word in the sentence. This has been interpreted as strong support for a serial processing mechanism in which the decision to skip a word is based on the completion of a preliminary stage of lexical processing prior to any assessment of contextual fit. The present large-scale study was designed to reconcile these findings with the plausibility preview effect: higher skipping and reduced first-pass reading times for words that are previewed by contextually plausible, compared to implausible, sentence continuations that are unrelated to the target word. Participants' eye movements were recorded as they read sentences containing a short (3-4 letters) or long (6 letters) target word. The boundary paradigm was used to present parafoveal previews which were either higher or lower frequency than the target, and either plausible or implausible in the sentence context. The results revealed strong, independent effects of all three factors on target skipping and early measures of target fixation duration, while frequency and plausibility interacted on later measures of target fixation duration. Simulations using the E-Z Reader model of eye-movement control in reading demonstrated that plausibility effects on skipping are potentially consistent with the assumption that higher-level contextual information only affects post-lexical integration processes. However, no current model of eye movements in reading provides an explicit account of the information or processes that allow readers to rapidly detect an integration failure.

上下文合理性对阅读过程中单词跳过的影响。

最近的动眼证据表明，与低频单词无关，与句子中该单词的语义或句法可接受性无关，读者更可能跳过高频单词。这被解释为对串行处理机制的强大支持，在这种串行处理机制中，跳过单词的决定是基于对上下文适合度的任何评估之前词汇处理的初步阶段的完成。当前的大规模研究旨在使这些发现与真实性预览效果相一致：与上下文中与目标单词无关的令人难以置信的句子延续相比，对于上下文相关的预览而言，较高的跳过率和减少的首过阅读时间减少了。参加者 当他们阅读包含简短（3-4个字母）或长长（6个字母）目标词的句子时，记录了他们的眼动。边界范式用于呈现副中心凹预告，其频率比目标频率高或低，并且在句子上下文中似是而非。结果显示，这三个因素对目标跳跃和目标固定持续时间的早期测量均具有强烈的独立影响，而频率和真实性在目标固定持续时间的后续测量中相互影响。在阅读中使用EZ Reader眼动控制模型进行的仿真表明，对跳跃的真实性可能与以下假设一致：高级上下文信息仅影响词法整合过程。然而，
