Different fields of research within the cognitive sciences have investigated basic processes
in reading, but progress has been hampered by limited cross-fertilization. We propose a …

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 …

Decades of reading research have led to sophisticated accounts of single-word recognition
and, in parallel, accounts of eye-movement control in text reading. Although these two …

Orthographic processing is an open problem. Decades of visual word recognition research
have fueled the development of various theoretical frameworks. Although these frameworks …

I will describe how orthographic processing acts as a central interface between visual and
linguistic processing during reading, and as such can be considered to be the 'mid-level …

In research on eye movements in reading, it is common to analyze a number of canonical
dependent measures to study how the effects of a manipulation unfold over time. Although …

The use of gaze-contingent display techniques to study reading has shown that readers
attend not only the currently fixated word, but also the word to the right of the current fixation …

A hotly debated issue in reading research concerns the extent to which readers process
parafoveal words, and how parafoveal information might influence foveal word recognition …

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 …

Metaphors are common elements of language that allow us to creatively stretch the limits of
word meaning. However, metaphors vary in their degree of novelty, which determines …
