- Аннотация: The study reveals eye-movement correlates of cognitive processes in students, performing visual semantic search task in a foreign language. Eye-tracking technologies have been accepted as a reliable methodology to study indicators of cognitive processing. 45 respondents (Russian (n=23) and Chinese (n=22) students) took part in two series of visual word search across letter mazes filled in with symbols of Latin alphabet. The task was to identify English words in each stimulus (18 in total) and mark them with mouse clicks. Respondents were equaled in English mastery and in the number of studied languages, though differing in native language and culture as well as in current linguistic environment. For Chinese students, the task was much more difficult. Results showed that Russian students found more words (12.11 against 5.3 per series F (1;87) = 36.64, p<0.001), which suggests that word search success is associated with their experience with alphabetic languages. Blink count as an indicator of cognitive load was also higher for Chinese respondents. The results of Chinese students demonstrated their tendency towards a holistic style of cognitive processing: oculomotor data showed significant differences in saccade amplitude and maximum saccade velocity which were considerably higher for Chinese students. They also showed short saccade latencies that are associated with eye-movement planning. Moreover, Chinese respondents had numerous wrong hits on letter combinations resembling Russian words. It was demonstrated that Chinese students experience strong interfering influence of the Russian language. The study identifies some effects of native language system and of complex language experience on cognitive processing.
