| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated children's incremental (word-by-word) processing in sentence comprehension. A visual world paradigm experiment and a text reading task with eye tracking were conducted with 5- to 10-years-old children and adults.The results suggest that children showed incremental processing as adults do. However, processing cost for the incremental and reanalysis process are higher for young children than older children and adults. We also found that eye movement during DCCS task could be a good measure to investigate individual differences of cognitive control, suggesting that the eye movements in DCCS task might be related to the development of sentence comprehension.
