Adult age differences in the perceptual span during reading.
Following up on research suggesting an age-related reduction in the rightward extent of the perceptual span during reading (Rayner, Castelhano, & Yang, 2009), we compared old and young adults in an N + 2-boundary paradigm in which a nonword preview of word N + 2 or word N + 2 itself is replaced by the target word once the eyes cross an invisible boundary located after word N. The intermediate w...
متن کاملEffect of letter spacing on visual span and reading speed.
S. T. L. Chung (2002) has shown that rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) reading speed varies with letter spacing, peaking near the standard letter spacing for text and decreasing for both smaller and larger spacings. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the dependence of reading speed on letter spacing is mediated by the size of the visual span-the number of letters recognized with...
متن کاملEye movements, the perceptual span, and reading speed.
The perceptual span or region of effective vision during eye fixations in reading was examined as a function of reading speed (fast readers were compared with slow readers), font characteristics (fixed width vs. proportional width), and intraword spacing (normal or reduced). The main findings were that fast readers (reading at about 330 wpm) had a larger perceptual span than did slow readers (r...
متن کاملContextual Interference within the Perceptual Span in Reading Japanese Text
In two experiments, we investigated the contextual interference effect within the perceptual span in reading Japanese text by using the moving window paradigm (McConkie & Rayner, 1975). There were four conditions involving different kinds of peripheral text: asterisk, random string, sentence, and control. The results revealed that the efficiency of reading the central text was degraded when the...
متن کاملIndividual differences in the perceptual span during reading: evidence from the moving window technique.
We report the results of an eye tracking experiment that used the gaze-contingent moving window technique to examine individual differences in the size of readers' perceptual span. Participants read paragraphs while the size of the rightward window of visible text was systematically manipulated across trials. In addition, participants completed a large battery of individual-difference measures ...
