Descripción
Reading is an everyday activity requiring the efficient integration of several central cognitive subsystems ranging from attention and oculomotor control to word identification and language comprehension. Effects of frequency, length and cloze predictability of words on reading times reliably indicate local processing difficulty of fixated words; also, a reader's expectation about an upcoming word apparently influences fixation duration even before the eyes reach this word. Moreover, this effect has been reported as non-canonical (i.e., longer fixation durations on word N when word N+1 is of high cloze predictability). However, this effect is difficult to observe because in natural sentences the fluctuations in predictability in content words are very small. To overcome this difficulty we investigated eye movements while reading proverbs as well as sentences constructed for high- and low-average cloze predictability. We also determined for each sentence a word at which predictability of words jumps from a low to high value. Fixation durations while reading proverbs and high-predictable sentences exhibited significant effects of the change in predictability along the sentence (when the successive word is more predictable than the fixated word). Results are in agreement with the proposal that cloze predictability of upcoming words exerts an influence on fixation durations via memory retrieval.
