Drieghe, Denis; Pollatsek, Alexander; Juhasz, Barbara J.; Rayner, Keith – Cognition, 2010
A boundary change manipulation was implemented within a monomorphemic word (e.g., "fountaom" as a preview for "fountain"), where parallel processing should occur given adequate visual acuity, and within an unspaced compound ("bathroan" as a preview for "bathroom"), where some serial processing of the constituents is likely. Consistent with that…

Staub, Adrian; Grant, Margaret; Clifton, Charles, Jr.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
In this brief rejoinder, we respond to Farmer, Monaghan, Misyak, and Christiansen (2011). We argue that the data still do not support the claim that reading time is affected by the phonological typicality of a word for its part of speech. We also question Farmer et al.'s claim that interleaving syntactic structures in an experiment modifies…

Angele, Bernhard; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
We used the boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) to test two hypotheses that might explain why no conclusive evidence has been found for the existence of n + 2 preprocessing effects. In Experiment 1, we tested whether parafoveal processing of the second word to the right of fixation (n + 2) takes place only when the preceding word (n + 1) is very…

Staub, Adrian; White, Sarah J.; Drieghe, Denis; Hollway, Elizabeth C.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2010
Recent research using word recognition paradigms, such as lexical decision and speeded pronunciation, has investigated how a range of variables affect the location and shape of response time distributions, using both parametric and non-parametric techniques. In this article, we explore the distributional effects of a word frequency manipulation on…

Rayner, Keith; Juhasz, Barbara J.; Brown, Sarah J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
Two experiments tested predictions derived from serial lexical processing and parallel distributed models of eye movement control in reading. The boundary paradigm (K. Rayner, 1975) was used, and the boundary location was set either at the end of word n - 1 (the word just to the left of the target word) or at the end of word n - 2. Serial lexical…

Ashby, Jane; Treiman, Rebecca; Kessler, Brett; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2006
Two eye movement experiments examined whether skilled readers include vowels in the early phonological representations used in word recognition during silent reading. Target words were presented in sentences preceded by parafoveal previews in which the vowel phoneme was concordant or discordant with the vowel phoneme in the target word. In…

Williams, Carrick C.; Perea, Manuel; Pollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
In 2 experiments, a boundary technique was used with parafoveal previews that were identical to a target (e.g., sleet), a word orthographic neighbor (sweet), or an orthographically matched nonword (speet). In Experiment 1, low-frequency words in orthographic pairs were targets, and high-frequency words were previews. In Experiment 2, the roles…

Deutsch, Avital; Frost, Ram; Pollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2000
Hebrew words are composed of two interwoven morphemes: a triconsonantal root and a word pattern. Two experiments examined the effect of the root morpheme on word identification by assessing parafoveal preview benefit effects. Although the information of the preview was not consciously perceived, preview of the root's letters facilitated both…

Christianson, Kiel; Johnson, Rebecca L.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Three masked-prime naming experiments were conducted to examine the impact of morpheme boundaries on letter transposition confusability effects. In Experiment 1, the priming effects of primes containing letter transpositions within (sunhsine) and transpositions across (susnhine) the constituents of compound words were compared with correctly…
