Abstract With eye movement tracking, we explored how the deaf reader segmentated words in Chinese reading. Profoundly deaf participants participated the experiment. Reading matched hearing and age matched hearing were also recruited for the control groups. Participants were aksed to reading text which had 5 types: normal unspaced text, text with gray signs on words,text with spaces between words, text with gray signs on non-words and text with space signs on non-words. The results have showed that (1) the sentences with gray signs on words produced a longer reading time of the deaf readers than that of age matched hearing group; (2) space word conditions reduced total reading time and gaze duration on words for the deaf readers, but did not affect those of reading matched hearing group; (3) text with gray signs on non-word and space non-word conditions increase the total reading time and gaze duration on words for the deaf readers, less than those of reading matched hearing group; in addition, (4) the results also showed that the space non-word conditions hindered the total reading time and gaze duration on words for the deaf readers less than those of reading matched hearing group, this condition also reduces the regresssion probability of the deaf, but did not affect the reading matched hearing group. These results suggested that word segmentation is essential for the reading of Chinese deaf, and that the deaf segment words differently from the hearing readers.
