Parafoveal processing in reading: Manipulating n+1 and n+2 previews simultaneously
TLDR
The boundary paradigm with a novel preview manipulation was used to examine the extent of parafoveal processing of words to the right of fixation and found that there was no evidence for a preview benefit for word n+2 and no Evidence for parafovesal-on-foveal effects when word n-1 is at least four letters long.Abstract:
The boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) with a novel preview manipulation was used to examine the extent of parafoveal processing of words to the right of fixation. Words n + 1 and n + 2 had either correct or incorrect previews prior to fixation (prior to crossing the boundary location). In addition, the manipulation utilized either a high or low frequency word in word n + 1 location on the assumption that it would be more likely that n + 2 preview effects could be obtained when word n + 1 was high frequency. The primary findings were that there was no evidence for a preview benefit for word n + 2 and no evidence for parafoveal-on-foveal effects when word n + 1 is at least four letters long. We discuss implications for models of eye-movement control in reading.read more

Eye Movements in Reading: Models and Data.
TL;DR: In this article, the role of models and data in further understanding the reading process is considered, and the differences between the E-Z Reader model and SWIFT model are reviewed, as are benchmark data that need to be accounted for by any model of eye movement control.

TL;DR: An overview of major developments over the last decade and a description of two newly emerging trends in the field: the study of continuous reading in non-Roman writing systems and the broadening of the scope of research to encompass individual differences and developmental issues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye movements and display change detection during reading.
TL;DR: Results indicate that sensitivity to display changes was related to how close the eyes were to the invalid preview on the fixation prior to the display change, as well as the timing of the completion of this change relative to the start of the post-change fixation.

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.

Toward a model of eye movement control in reading.
TL;DR: The E-Z Reader model as mentioned in this paper ) is a general model of eye movement control in reading that relates cognitive processing (specifically aspects of lexical access) to eye movements in reading.

The Perceptual Span and Peripheral Cues in Reading.
TL;DR: It was found that a reader was able to make a semantic interpretation of a word that began 1–6 character spaces from his fixation point, and the size of the area from which he does is rather small, suggesting that the skilled reader is able to take advantage of information in the periphery.
