詞頻、詞彙類型與眼球運動型態：來自篇章閱讀的證據

Frequency Effect, Word Class and Eye Movements: Evidence from Text Reading

大多數的英文研究都同意詞頻及詞彙類型與讀者閱讀時的眼球運動型態有密切的關係。本研究利用篇章閱讀的情境，檢驗當說明文與故事體的詞頻相同時，詞頻及詞彙類型對讀者眼球運動型態之影響。實驗結果發現，詞頻及詞彙類型對讀者眼球運動型態的影響，會因文體不同而有不同。進一步比較讀者在說明文與故事體中的眼球運動型態後，研究者認為，詞彙概念的難易程度對讀者眼球運動型態的影響可能更大。這是下一個研究需要進一步確認的。
