时间转换对中国学生语篇阅读理解影响的研究

采用探测词再认和照应句阅读时间法的研究范式,运用移动窗口技术,以英语叙事语篇为实验材料,以中国英语学习者提取先前信息的准确度和速度为指标,考察叙事语篇时间转换对第二语言学习者阅读理解加工过程的影响。结果表明,叙事语篇时间转换导致第二语言学习者提取先前信息准确度降低、速度减慢。研究结论进一步验证了强印象假设和事件标记模型理论的普遍性。

A Study of the Effects of Time Shifts on Chinese EFL Learners' Text Comprehension Processes

Probe-recognition paradigm,anaphor reading time paradigm and moving windows technique were employed to explore the effects of narrative time shifts on L2 learners’ reading comprehension processes.English narrative texts were used as stimulus materials in the experiments in which Chinese EFL learners’ memory retrieval accuracy and speed for prior information during text comprehension were the main index.The results demonstrate that when a time shift is encountered,L2 learners are less able and slower to accurately retrieve prior information from memory.The results of this study help to test the universality of the strong iconicity assumption and event-indexing model.
