Eye movements modulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of word processing.
Active reading requires coordination between frequent eye movements (saccades) and short fixations in text. Yet, the impact of saccades on word processing remains unknown, as neuroimaging studies typically employ constant eye fixation. Here we investigate eye-movement effects on word recognition processes in healthy human subjects using anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography, psychophy...
متن کاملShort-Term Word Priming Across Eye Movements
The authors conducted a short-term repetition priming experiment (using a visual, forced-choice word identification task) that compared a standard priming condition, where prime and target words appeared in the same spatial location, with an experimental condition in which prime and target words were spatially separated enough to necessitate an eye movement. Prime presentation duration was mani...
متن کاملEye movements to pictures reveal transient semantic activation during spoken word recognition.
Two experiments explore the activation of semantic information during spoken word recognition. Experiment 1 shows that as the name of an object unfolds (e.g., lock), eye movements are drawn to pictorial representations of both the named object and semantically related objects (e.g., key). Experiment 2 shows that objects semantically related to an uttered word's onset competitors become active e...
متن کاملEye movements during intentional car following.
Does intentional car following capture visual attention to the extent that driving may be impaired? We tested fifteen participants on a rudimentary driving simulator. Participants were either instructed to follow a vehicle ahead through a simulated version of London, or were given verbal instructions on where to turn during the route. The presence or absence of pedestrians, and the simulated ti...
متن کاملInformation Processing to Create Eye Movements
Because eye muscles never cocontract and do not deal with external loads, one can write an equation that relates motoneuron firing rate to eye position and velocity a very uncommon situation in the CNS. The semicircular canals transduce head velocity in a linear manner by using a high background discharge rate, imparting linearity to the premotor circuits that generate eye movements. This has a...
