The span of the effective stimulus during a fixation in reading.
George W. McConkie,Keith Rayner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-based eye-movement controlled display system was developed for the study of perceptual processes in reading, which was used to identify the region from which skilled readers pick up various types of visual information during a fixation while reading.
Journal ArticleDOI
What guides a reader's eye movements?
Keith Rayner,George W. McConkie +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that eye movements in reading are under momentary, non-random control and models attempting to account for eye movement data on a random basis, or by simple gain controls or visual buffer monitoring are found acceptable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye movement control during reading: I. The location of initial eye fixations on words
TL;DR: In this article, eye movement data were analyzed to identify factors that influence the location of a reader's initial eye fixation on a word, and the locations of initial fixations on words can be accounted for on the basis of five principles of perceptuo-oculomotor control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating information across eye movements
TL;DR: The results of the experiments supported the former hypothesis in that information about the beginning letters of words was facilitatory in the task and the other two hypotheses were disconfirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is visual information integrated across successive fixations in reading
George W. McConkie,David Zola +1 more
TL;DR: College students read a passage presented in AlTeRnAtInG cAsE on a CRT while their eye movements were monitored, and the case of every letter was changed during certain saccades.
