The effect of lexical predictability on eye movements in reading: Critical review and theoretical interpretation

A Staub - Language and linguistics compass, 2015‏ - Wiley Online Library
A word's predictability in its context has a reliable influence on eye movements in reading.
This article reviews the extensive literature that has investigated this influence, focusing on …

Readers are parallel processors

J Snell, J Grainger - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2019‏ - cell.com
Reading research has long endorsed the view that words are processed strictly one by one.
The primary empirical test of this notion is the search for effects from upcoming words on …

Word predictability effects are linear, not logarithmic: Implications for probabilistic models of sentence comprehension

T Brothers, GR Kuperberg - Journal of Memory and Language, 2021‏ - Elsevier
During language comprehension, we routinely use information from the prior context to help
identify the meaning of individual words. While measures of online processing difficulty …

Multiple predictions during language comprehension: Friends, foes, or indifferent companions?

T Brothers, E Morgan, A Yacovone, G Kuperberg - Cognition, 2023‏ - Elsevier
To comprehend language, we continually use prior context to pre-activate expected
upcoming information, resulting in facilitated processing of incoming words that confirm …

Fixation durations in scene viewing: Modeling the effects of local image features, oculomotor parameters, and task

A Nuthmann - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2017‏ - Springer
Scene perception requires the orchestration of image-and task-related processes with
oculomotor constraints. The present study was designed to investigate how these factors …

The eye-voice span during reading aloud

J Laubrock, R Kliegl - Frontiers in psychology, 2015‏ - frontiersin.org
Although eye movements during reading are modulated by cognitive processing demands,
they also reflect visual sampling of the input, and possibly preparation of output for speech …

Word skip**: Effects of word length, predictability, spelling and reading skill

TJ Slattery, M Yates - Quarterly Journal of Experimental …, 2018‏ - journals.sagepub.com
Readers' eyes often skip over words as they read. Skip** rates are largely determined by
word length; short words are skipped more than long words. However, the predictability of a …

Looking back on reading ahead: No evidence for lexical parafoveal-on-foveal effects

T Brothers, LJ Hoversten, MJ Traxler - Journal of Memory and Language, 2017‏ - Elsevier
Current models of eye movement control during reading make different predictions
regarding the possibility of parafoveal-on-foveal effects–ie whether the lexical properties of …

Is the mind inherently predicting? Exploring forward and backward looking in language processing

L Onnis, A Lim, S Cheung, F Huettig - Cognitive Science, 2022‏ - Wiley Online Library
Prediction is one characteristic of the human mind. But what does it mean to say the mind is
a “prediction machine” and inherently forward looking as is frequently claimed? In natural …

Event‐related brain potentials reveal how multiple aspects of semantic processing unfold across parafoveal and foveal vision during sentence reading

BR Payne, MC Stites, KD Federmeier - Psychophysiology, 2019‏ - Wiley Online Library
Recent event‐related brain potential (ERP) experiments have demonstrated parafoveal
N400 expectancy and congruity effects, showing that semantic information can be accessed …
