This study investigated the influence of local and global predictability on processing depth in reading comprehension and topic browsing tasks.Participants'eye movements were analyzed as they read 96 sentence frames containing high-predictive and low-predictive target words.The results showed that in both tasks,global predictability significantly affected early reading time indicators,while local predictability did not have a significant effect.This suggests that predictability generation may not rely on system 2(the slow system)and that relying solely on the word preceding the target word is insufficient to generate sufficient predictability.These findings provide a new perspective for understanding the predictive mechanisms in reading.
