TLDR
Experiments on elongated and shortened words also show that perceived length directly influences word responses, indicating that word length operates as a separate cue in the recognition process.About:

Response latency and accuracy in visual word recogniton
TL;DR: In a single visual word recognition experiment, the effects of eccentricity of presentation, word length, and word frequency were investigated and a clear word frequency effect was established.

Parafoveal word perception: a further case against semantic preprocessing.
TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that information is obtained initially from the fixated words, regardless of whether foveal word presentation precedes or follows the parafoveal stimulus.

Dyslexia: A specific recoding deficit? : an analysis of response latencies for letters and words in dyslectics and in average readers
H Herman Bouma,ChP Legein +1 more
TL;DR: A simple sequential processing scheme is proposed in which the main source of difficulties for the dyslectics is a delay in their translation of visually recognized items into a speech code, and lower scores then result from the volatile character of visual stores.

Efficiency in reading with closed-circuit television for low vision.
J. B. Lowe,Neville Drasdo +1 more
TL;DR: A closed circuit television (CCTV) magnifier was used to measure the reading rates of nine fluent low‐vision subjects and the optimal character size that elicited the fastest reading was determined for each subject.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of information in word recognition.
TL;DR: The model has as its central feature a set of "logogens": devices which accept information relevant to a particular word response irrespective of the source of this information when more than a threshold amount of information has accumulated in any logogen.

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.
