Hebrew-speaking students performed lexical decisions on Hebrew letter strings that appeared at different orientations. Response times evidenced a strong interaction between string length and orientation. At angular deviations of less than 60 degrees from the upright, neither orientation nor string length had any effect, suggesting that words were directly, and probably holistically, recognized....

See before you jump: full recognition of parafoveal words precedes skips during reading.

Serial attention models of eye-movement control during reading were evaluated in an eye-tracking experiment that examined how lexical activation combines with visual information in the parafovea to affect word skipping (where a word is not fixated during first-pass reading). Lexical activation was manipulated by repetition priming created through prime-target pairs embedded within a sentence. T...

“Can you teach me?” – Children teaching new words to a robot in a book reading scenario

In research on children’s language development, joint book reading is appreciated as being a situation beneficial for language learning. Motivated by this string of research, our aim was to explore whether the situation of joint book reading can be applied to a child–robot interaction. Before investigating whether and how this situation – when applied in child–robot interaction – can be used as...
