Abstract：
Several studies have shown that parafoveal processing is essential in reading development. In this study, we explore the effect of transposing and substituting inner and outer letters in a flanker lexical decision task administered to 78 children and 65 adults. The results show a significant interaction between the Group factor and the Flanker factor, suggesting differences in the effects of flankers for children and adults. In the case of adults, transposed and substituted letters generated benefit of the same magnitude in comparison with the unrelated condition, but of lesser magnitude than the Identity condition. In the case of children, the results show facilitation for the transposed conditions of the same magnitude as the Identity condition. However, the substitution conditions failed to generate any benefit in comparison with the unrelated condition. The results for the adults are in line with the predictions of the open bigram model, whereas the results for the children are explained through a developmental perspective of the dual-route architecture and open bigram framework.
摘要：
一些研究表明，在阅读发展中，半凹加工是必不可少的。在这项研究中,我们探讨了在对78名儿童和65名成人进行的侧翼词汇决策任务中，转置和替换内部和外部字母的效果。结果表明，群体因子和Flanker因子之间存在显著的相互作用，表明侧翼对儿童和成人的影响存在差异。对于成年人来说,与无关的情况相比，转置和替换的字母产生了相同幅度的益处，但幅度小于身份条件。在儿童的情况下，结果表明，与Identity条件相同大小的转置条件具有促进作用。然而,与无关条件相比，替代条件未能产生任何益处。成人的结果与开放式二元模型的预测一致，而儿童的结果是通过双路架构和开放二元框架的发展视角来解释的。
