Abstract
This study investigated the frequency and length effect on eye fixation in Korean reading using eye-tracking. In study 1, the eye movement data collected during reading a novel were analyzed with regression analysis on a word cluster(eojeol). Frequency predicted first fixation time, single fixation time and gaze duration on eojeols and length predicted single fixation time and gaze duration. However, interaction between two variables, frequency and length, did not predict any fixation times. In study 2, the experiment factorially designed with word frequency and length was carried out to compensate for a limitation of study 1, using eojeol items, not words. First fixation time and single fixation time were shorter in high-frequency words than in low-frequency words. On gaze duration, there were significant main effects of word frequency and length, and also the interaction between them. In addition, it was found that there was a reverse length effect on the next word of the target. The results from study 1 and 2 were discussed in the context of models of eye movement control in reading.
