Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Presents four experiments comparing the perceptual span in second-, fourth-, and sixth-grade readers and skilled adult readers.

Pollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
The functions of spaces between words in adult reading of text were investigated in three experiments. Results were consistent with a two-process theory in which filling parafoveal spaces disrupts guidance of the next eye movement and filling foveal spaces disrupts processing of the fixated word as well.
