ПАТТЕРНЫ ДВИЖЕНИЙ ГЛАЗ ПРИ ЧТЕНИИ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЙ У РУССКОЯЗЫЧНЫХ ШКОЛЬНИКОВ И ВЗРОСЛЫХ
This study aims to investigate global sentence reading patterns in Russian-speaking
children in grades 1 – 6 and adults. All participants (N = 231) read 30 sentences comprising
the child version of the Russian sentence corpus while their eye movements were tracked.
The fixation data were analyzed following the protocol of scanpath analysis. The analysis
allowed us to detect five typical reading patterns that we named beginner, intermediate,
upper-intermediate, advanced, and fluent. These patterns differed in reading speed,
word or sentence rereading, and skipping. We found that first-graders were more likely
to adopt the beginner and intermediate reading patterns; second- and third-graders
followed intermediate and upper-intermediate patterns; fourth-to-sixth-graders adopted
upper-intermediate and advanced patterns; and adults preferred the fluent reading pattern.
Interestingly, each participant was able to adopt two to five patterns and switch between
them, probably, adjusting their reading to the complexity of the sentence.
