Jordan, Timothy R.; McGowan, Victoria A.; Kurtev, Stoyan; Paterson, Kevin B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
When reading from left to right, useful information acquired during each fixational pause is widely assumed to extend 14 to 15 characters to the right of fixation but just 3 to 4 characters to the left, and certainly no further than the beginning of the fixated word. However, this leftward extent is strikingly small and seems inconsistent with…

Vagge, Aldo; Cavanna, Margherita; Traverso, Carlo Enrico; Iester, Michele – Annals of Dyslexia, 2015
The aims of this study were to analyze the relationship between dyslexia and eye movements and to assess whether this method can be added to the workup of dyslexic patients. The sample was comprised of 11 children with a diagnosis of dyslexia and 11 normal between 8 and 13 years of age. All subjects underwent orthoptic evaluation, ophthalmological…

Fletcher, James; Martinez, George – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1994
Twenty-two readers (ages 10 to 35) with scotopic sensitivity parsed sentences under scotopic correction (using colored transparent overlays) and control conditions. Although eye movements suggested enhanced parsing, comprehension scores were not significantly improved with correction. (DB)

Garrott, Carl L. – 1986
In order to test hypotheses derived from the concept that grammatical, syntactic, semantic, and contextual cues affect the degree of reading comprehension in a visual display, the present investigation was undertaken using the French language. The subjects were approximately 30 college students in a second-semester elementary French course. Five…

Carvell, Robert L. – 1975
The purpose of this study was to compare mature readers' comprehension of text presented in traditional orthography with their comprehension of text presented in a regularized orthography, specifically, to determine whether, when traditional orthography is regularized, any loss of meaning is attributable to the loss of the visual dissimilarity of…

Haber, Ralph Norman; Schindler, Robert M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981
Subjects instructed to circle misspellings while reading prose were less likely to detect misspellings in function than in content words. Misspellings that changed the shape of a word were more likely to be detected. It is not clear whether differences between function and content words are due to familiarity or redundancy. (Author/RD)

Butter, Eliot J.; And Others – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1982
One hundred and two third graders were tested on match-to-sample, cognitive style tasks in the visual and auditory modalities as well as a visual-auditory cross-modal task. The results lend support to the relationship between cognitive style and reading performance. (Author/NQA)

Underwood, N. R.; McConkie, G. W. – 1983
A study investigated the size of the perceptual span within which adults use visual information to distinguish among letters as they read. The eye movements of fifteen college students were monitored as they read passages from a cathode-ray tube. On occasional fixations, letters in specified visual regions were replaced by other letters. The…
