Abstract

In this study, Korean older adults (70-75 yrs) were divided into two groups according to the degree of reading exposure, and real-time data were collected through a reading eye movement tracking experiment. Then, overall reading patterns and word frequency ef ects were compared with two groups of older adults and younger adults (20-28 yrs). Furthermore, through the results of the eye movement tracking experiment of older adults with rich reading exposure and older adults with poor reading exposure, we tried to find out whether reading performance af ects not only changes in age but also reading exposure. As a result of the experiment, the older adults with poor reading exposure group generally had a longer fixation time and a shorter saccade than the younger adults group, and the older adults with rich reading exposure group showed the same reading patterns as the younger adults group. The word frequency ef ect was confirmed in all groups, and the fixation time was short in the order of older adults with rich reading exposure group and older adults with poor reading exposure group. In addition, an interaction ef ect was shown in the two elderly groups according to reading exposure, but no interaction could be confirmed in the dif erence between the younger adults group and the older adults with rich reading exposure group. This suggests the possibility that reading performance is not af ected by age itself, but by the reading experience of the elderly.

이 연구는 최근 급증하고 있는 대한민국 노인들(만70-75세)을 대상으로 읽기 노출 정도에 따라 집단을 구분하여 문장 읽기 안구운동 추적 실험으로 실시간 데이터를 수집하고, 젊은 성인(만20-28세)과 전반적인 글읽기 양상과 단어 빈도 효과를 비교하고자 했다. 나아가 글읽기 노출이 많은 노인들과 글읽기 노출이 적은 노인들의 안구운동 추적 실험 결과를 통해 글 읽기 수행의 어려움이 노화가 아니라 읽기 노출에도 영향을 미치는 지를 알아보고자 했다. 실험 결과, 글읽기 노출이 적은 집단은 젊은 성인 집단보다 전반적으로 눈이 머무르는 고정시간이 길고 눈의 건너뛰기는 짧았고, 글읽기 노출이 많은 노인 집단은 젊은 성인 집단과 동일한 읽기 양상이 나타났다. 모든 집단에서 단어 빈도효과를 확인하였으며 읽기 노출이 많은 노인 집단, 읽기 노출이 적은 노인 집단 순으로 고정시간이 짧게 나타났다. 또한 글 읽기 노출에 따른 두 노인 집단에서는 상호작용 효과가 나타났지만, 젊은 성인 집단과 글읽기 노출이 많은 노인 집단 차이에서 상호작용을 확인 할 수 없었다. 이는 나이 그 자체가 글 읽기 수행에 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라 노인들의 읽기 노출의 경험이 글 읽기 수행에 영향을 준다는 가능성을 시사한다.
