The present review summarizes research investigating how words are identified
parafoveally (and foveally) in reading. Parafoveal and foveal processing are compared …

Reading is a highly complex skill that is prerequisite to success in many societies in which a
great deal of information is communicated in written form. Since the 1970s, much has been …

In the Chinese writing system, there are no interword spaces to mark word boundaries. To
understand how Chinese readers conquer this challenge, we constructed an integrated …

Reading requires the orchestration of visual, attentional, language-related, and oculomotor

Publisher Summary The two most robust findings in studies of eye movements and reading
are that (1) fixation time on a word is shorter if the reader has a valid preview of the word …

This paper is simultaneously a test and refinement of the EZ Reader model and an
exploration of the interrelationship between visual and language processing and eye …

The two core assumptions of the E–Z Reader model of eye-movement control during
reading are that:(1) a preliminary stage of lexical access (ie, the familiarity check) triggers …

By means of the moving window paradigm, we examined how many letters can be identified
during a single eye fixation and whether this letter identity span changes as a function of …

The authors examined word skipping in reading in 2 experiments. In Experiment 1, skipping
rates were higher for a preview of a predictable word than for a visually similar nonword …
