Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examined the validity of the expectation-based model in the processing of Japanese sentences by using eye-tracking technique. The results from multiple experiments revealed that Japanese readers process sentences incrementally just as English readers but importantly, the frequencies of structural configurations accompanied with case markers and the timing for the arrival of disambiguating information influences the estimation of probabilities for possible structural options. I also published a paper that discusses standard experimental design and reasonable statistical analysis for eye-tracking research on Japanese sentence processing.
