Implication
Experiment examines how contextual constraint and word length affect eye movement metrics in Chinese reading, revealing separate but significant influences.
Key Points
- Both contextual constraint and word length significantly influenced eye movement metrics like skipping and fixation durations.
- Target words varied in predictability and length, with findings showing effects on landing positions and saccade lengths.
- Bayes factor analysis indicated no significant interaction between contextual constraint and word length during reading.
- These results enhance existing models of eye-movement control in Chinese reading, providing clearer insights into reading mechanics.
