Abstract: We explore how deaf students use context information for promoting word processing during Chinese reading. The experiment was a 3 (groups:skill deaf readers vs. skill hearing readers vs. less-skill deaf readers)×2 (the degree of prediction:high prediction vs. low prediction) mixed design. The results showed that:for the eye movement measures in pre-target region (1) there were significant or marginal significant effect of prediction in total fixation time and gaze duration for skill hearing readers, however, prediction effects for skill and less-skill deaf readers were not reliable; For the eye movement measures in target region (2) the effects of prediction in total fixation time, gaze duration and first fixation duration for skill hearing readers were all reliable, only the effect of prediction in total fixation time was significant for skill deaf readers, there was no prediction effects for less-skill deaf readers. Thus, these results indicated that it was qualitative differences between hearing and deaf reading when they use contextual cues to boost word processing, and that compared with the less-skill deaf readers, skill deaf readers can make better use of context information.

Key words: Chinese reading, deaf readers, prediction effects, eye movements
