Before fixating on a target word within each sentence, readers were provided with a parafoveal preview that differed in the amount of useful letter identity and letter position information it provided. In Experiments 1 and 2,…

This fact poses problems for most computational models of word recognition (e.g., the interactive-activation model and its extensions), which assume that exact…
