Ruomeng Zhu; Mateo Obregón; Hamutal Kreiner; Richard Shillcock – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: We compare right-to-left and left-to-right orthographies to test the theory, derived from studying the latter, that small temporal asynchronies between the two eyes at the beginning and end of every fixation favor ocular prevalence for the left eye in the left hemifield and the right eye in the right hemifield. Ocular prevalence is the…

Andriana L. Christofalos; Nicole M. Arco; Madison Laks; Heather Sheridan – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2025
Removing interword spacing has been shown to disrupt lower-level oculomotor processes and word identification during text reading. However, the impact of these disruptions on higher-level processes remains unclear. To examine the influence of spacing on inferential processing, we monitored eye movements while participants read spaced and unspaced…

Juhasz, Barbara J. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
During reading, high-frequency words consistently receive shorter fixation durations relative to low-frequency words. However, how frequently a given word is experienced can vary across an individual's education. In the current study, the effects of both childhood and college-level word frequency on fixation durations were examined to assess the…

Yunyan Duan – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation provides evidence that reading is best explained as rational gathering of visual information to identify words efficiently. Although empirical evidence from human reading research suggests a close link between eye movements and cognitive process, it is not clear how readers decide when and where to move their eyes as a function…

Chuanli Zang; Ying Fu; Hong Du; Xuejun Bai; Guoli Yan; Simon P. Liversedge – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Arguably, the most contentious debate in the field of eye movement control in reading has centered on whether words are lexically processed serially or in parallel during reading. Chinese is character-based and unspaced, meaning the issue of how lexical processing is operationalized across potentially ambiguous, multicharacter strings is not…

Meeter, Martijn; Marzouki, Yousri; Avramiea, Arthur E.; Snell, Joshua; Grainger, Jonathan – Cognitive Science, 2020
When reading, orthographic information is extracted not only from the word the reader is looking at, but also from adjacent words in the parafovea. Here we examined, using the recently introduced OB1-reader computational model, how orthographic information can be processed in parallel across multiple words and how orthographic information can be…

Nannan Cui; Yang Wang; Jiefei Luo; Yan Wu – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Executive function (EF) plays a crucial role in children's reading. However, previous studies were based on offline products of reading comprehension. Online research is needed to reveal the core mechanisms underlying children's reading processing. By measuring children's working memory (WM) and cognitive flexibility (CF), we…

Ginestet, Emilie; Shadbolt, Jalyssa; Tucker, Rebecca; Bosse, Marie-Line; Deacon, S. Hélène – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Efficient word identification is directly tied to strong mental representations of words, which include spellings, meanings and pronunciations. Orthographic learning is the process by which spellings for individual words are acquired. Methods: In the present study, we combined the classic self-teaching paradigm with eye tracking to…

Kim, Jina; Meyer, Lindsey; Hendrickson, Kristi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: There is a long-standing debate about how written words are recognized. Central to this debate is the role of phonology. The objective of this study is to contribute to our collective understanding regarding the role of phonology in written word recognition. Method: A total of 30 monolingual adults were tested using a novel written word…

Gu, Junjuan; Zhou, Junyi; Bao, Yaqian; Liu, Jiayu; Perea, Manuel; Li, Xingshan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous research in alphabetic languages has shown that both position (external, internal) and distance (adjacent, nonadjacent) modulate letter position encoding during reading. To examine the generality of this pattern for a comprehensive model of word recognition and reading, we examined these effects during Chinese reading (i.e., an unspaced…

Marco S. G. Senaldi; Debra Titone – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Past work has suggested that L1 readers retrieve idioms (i.e., "spill the tea") directly vs. matched literal controls ("drink the tea") following unbiased contexts, whereas L2 readers process idioms more compositionally. However, it is unclear whether this occurs when a figuratively or literally biased context…

Hautala, Jarkko; Hawelka, Stefan; Aro, Mikko – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Central questions in the study of visual word recognition and developmental dyslexia are whether early lexical activation precedes and supports decoding (a dual-stage view) or not (dual-route view), and the locus of deficits in dysfluent reading. The dual-route view predicts early word frequency and length interaction, whereas the dual-stage view…

Dirix, Nicolas; Vander Beken, Heleen; De Bruyne, Ellen; Brysbaert, Marc; Duyck, Wouter – Reading Research Quarterly, 2020
The authors investigated how eye movements are influenced by different reading goals in participants' first (L1) and second language (L2). Participants read or studied the contents of texts while their eye movements were recorded. One group was asked to read L1 and L2 texts as they would read any expository text (informational reading). Another…

Liang, Feifei; Gao, Qi; Li, Xin; Wang, Yongsheng; Bai, Xuejun; Liversedge, Simon P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Word spacing is important in guiding eye movements during spaced alphabetic reading. Chinese is unspaced and it remains unclear as to how Chinese readers segment and identify words in reading. We conducted two parallel experiments to investigate whether the positional probabilities of the initial and the final characters of a multicharacter word…

Suh Keong Kwon – English Teaching, 2024
This paper investigates the cognitive processes involved in English word recognition among young EFL learners using eye-tracking methodology. A quasi-experimental mixed method design was used to investigate how young L2 learners engage with basic words, with or without pictorial cues. A total of seventeen 6th-grade pupils from two schools…
