Jasmine Spencer; Hasibe Kahraman; Elisabeth Beyersmann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Reading morphologically complex words requires analysis of their morphemic subunits (e.g., play + er); however, the positional constraints of morphemic processing are still little understood. The current study involved three unprimed lexical decision experiments to directly compare the positional encoding of stems and affixes during reading and to…

Hyunwoo Kim; Sun Hee Park – Second Language Research, 2024
It remains an open question whether second language (L2) learners can process linguistic properties at the syntax-discourse interface. This study examines this issue in the context of the L2 processing of Korean dative sentences under different information structure requirements. Given that discourse constraints associated with information…

Schotter, Elizabeth R.; von der Malsburg, Titus; Leinenger, Mallorie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Recent studies using the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm reported a "reversed preview benefit"--shorter fixations on a target word when an unrelated preview was easier to process than the fixated target (Schotter & Leinenger, 2016). This is explained via "forced fixations"--short fixations on words that would ideally be…

Peleg, Orna; Ben-hur, Galia; Segal, Osnat – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Studies on reading in individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss (deaf) raise the possibility that, due to deficient phonological coding, deaf individuals may rely more on orthographic-semantic links than on orthographic-phonological links. However, the relative contribution of phonological and semantic information to visual word…

Kezilas, Yvette; McKague, Meredith; Kohnen, Saskia; Badcock, Nicholas A.; Castles, Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Masked transposed-letter (TL) priming effects have been used to index letter position processing over the course of reading development. Whereas some studies have reported an increase in TL priming over development, others have reported a decrease. These findings have led to the development of 2 somewhat contradictory accounts of letter position…

Brothers, Trevor; Traxler, Matthew J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Previous evidence suggests that grammatical constraints have a rapid influence during language comprehension, particularly at the level of word categories (noun, verb, preposition). These findings are in conflict with a recent study from Angele, Laishley, Rayner, and Liversedge (2014), in which sentential fit had no early influence on word…

Jian, Yu-Cin; Ko, Hwa-Wei – Journal of Research in Reading, 2014
This study investigates the effects of background knowledge on Chinese word processing during silent reading by monitoring adult readers' eye movements. Both higher knowledge (physics major) and lower knowledge (nonphysics major) graduate students were given physics texts to read. Higher knowledge readers spent less time rereading and had…

Lowder, Matthew W.; Gordon, Peter C. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Previous research has given inconsistent evidence about whether familiar metonyms are more difficult to process than literal expressions. In 2 eye-tracking-while-reading experiments, we tested the hypothesis that the difficulty associated with processing metonyms would depend on sentence structure. Experiment 1 examined comprehension of familiar…

Yan, Ming; Zhou, Wei; Shu, Hua; Kliegl, Reinhold – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Semantic processing from parafoveal words is an elusive phenomenon in alphabetic languages, but it has been demonstrated only for a restricted set of noncompound Chinese characters. Using the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm, this experiment examined whether parafoveal lexical and sublexical semantic information was extracted from compound…

Reichle, Erik D.; Pollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Psychological Review, 2012
Nonreading tasks that share some (but not all) of the task demands of reading have often been used to make inferences about how cognition influences when the eyes move during reading. In this article, we use variants of the E-Z Reader model of eye-movement control in reading to simulate eye-movement behavior in several of these tasks, including…

Perea, Manuel; Mallouh, Reem Abu; Carreiras, Manuel – Developmental Science, 2013
A commonly shared assumption in the field of visual-word recognition is that retinotopic representations are rapidly converted into abstract representations. Here we examine the role of visual form vs. abstract representations during the early stages of word processing--as measured by masked priming--in young children (3rd and 6th Graders) and…

Farmer, Thomas A.; Monaghan, Padraic; Misyak, Jennifer B.; Christiansen, Morten H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
In 2 separate self-paced reading experiments, Farmer, Christiansen, and Monaghan (2006) found that the degree to which a word's phonology is typical of other words in its lexical category influences online processing of nouns and verbs in predictive contexts. Staub, Grant, Clifton, and Rayner (2009) failed to find an effect of phonological…

Reingold, Eyal M.; Yang, Jinmian; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Participants' eye movements were monitored while they read sentences in which high-frequency and low-frequency target words were presented either in normal font (e.g., account) or case alternated (e.g., aCcOuNt). The influence of the word frequency and case alternation manipulations on fixation times was examined. Although both manipulations had…

Potter, Mary C.; Wyble, Brad; Olejarczyk, Jennifer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
In whole report, a sentence presented sequentially at the rate of about 10 words/s can be recalled accurately, whereas if the task is to report only two target words (e.g., red words), the second target suffers an attentional blink if it appears shortly after the first target. If these two tasks are carried out simultaneously, is there an…

Yan, Ming; Kliegl, Reinhold; Shu, Hua; Pan, Jinger; Zhou, Xiaolin – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Preview benefits (PBs) from two words to the right of the fixated one (i.e., word N + 2) and associated parafoveal-on-foveal effects are critical for proposals of distributed lexical processing during reading. This experiment examined parafoveal processing during reading of Chinese sentences, using a boundary manipulation of N + 2-word preview…
