Eye movement control during reading: foveal load and parafoveal processing.
We tested theories of eye movement control in reading by looking at parafoveal processing. According to attention-processing theories, attention shifts towards word n + 1 only when processing of the fixated word n is finished, so that attended parafoveal processing does not start until the programming of the saccade programming to word n + 1 is initiated (Henderson & Ferreira, 1990; Morrison, 1...
متن کاملEye movement control during reading: fixation measures reflect foveal but not parafoveal processing difficulty.
The main purpose of this study was to determine whether, during natural reading, the difficulty of the upcoming parafoveal word affects eye movement behaviour on the currently fixated word. A model in which visual attention is allocated in parallel over both the fixated and the upcoming parafoveal word predicts such as effect, while a sequential attention allocation model in which attention is ...
متن کاملParafoveal-on-foveal effects in normal reading
A corpus of eye movement data derived from 10 English and 10 French participants, each reading about 50,000 words, was examined for evidence that properties of a word in parafoveal vision have an immediate effect on foveal inspection time. When inspecting a short word, there is evidence that the lexical frequency of an adjacent word affects processing time. When inspecting a long word, there ar...
متن کاملIs emotional content obtained from parafoveal words during reading? An eye movement analysis.
An eye-movement-contingent display change technique was employed to study whether adult readers extract semantic information from parafoveal words during reading. Three types of parafoveal preview conditions were contrasted: an emotional word, a neutral word, and an identical word condition. To have a maximally effective parafoveal manipulation, high-arousal emotional words (sex- and threat-rel...
متن کاملDistinct subsystems for the parafoveal processing of spatial and linguistic information during eye fixations in reading.
Two experiments examined readers' use of parafoveally obtained word length information for word recognition. Both experiments manipulated the length (number of constituent characters) of a parafoveally previewed target word so that it was either accurately or inaccurately specified. In Experiment 1, previews also either revealed or denied useful orthographic information. In Experiment 2, parafo...
