Eye movements and attention in reading, scene perception, and visual search.
TL;DR: Research on the following topics is reviewed with respect to reading: (a) the perceptual span, (or span of effective vision), (b) preview benefit, (c) eye movement control, and (d) models of eye movements.

Abstract: Eye movements are now widely used to investigate cognitive processes during reading, scene perception, and visual search. In this article, research on the following topics is reviewed with respect to reading: (a) the perceptual span (or span of effective vision), (b) preview benefit, (c) eye movement control, and (d) models of eye movements. Related issues with respect to eye movements during scene perception and visual search are also reviewed. It is argued that research on eye movements during reading has been somewhat advanced over research on eye movements in scene perception and visual search and that some of the paradigms developed to study reading should be more widely adopted in the study of scene perception and visual search. Research dealing with "real-world" tasks and research utilizing the visual-world paradigm are also briefly discussed.

Teacher vision: expert and novice teachers’ perception of problematic classroom management scenes
Charlotte Wolff,Halszka Jarodzka,Halszka Jarodzka,Niek van den Bogert,Henny P. A. Boshuizen,Henny P. A. Boshuizen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated differences in how expert and novice teachers perceive problematic classroom scenes using eye tracking measurements and verbal think aloud, and found that experts' viewing was more dispersed whereas experts' was more focused.
Effects of individual differences in verbal skills on eye-movement patterns during sentence reading.
TL;DR: This study found that individual scores in rapid automatized naming and word identification tests were the only participant variables with reliable predictivity throughout the time-course of reading and elicited effects that superceded in magnitude the effects of established predictors like word length or frequency.

Models of the reading process
Keith Rayner,Erik D. Reichle +1 more
TL;DR: The authors reviewed prominent models that are designed to account for (1) word identification, (2) syntactic parsing, (3) discourse representations, and (4) how certain aspects of language processing (e.g., word identification), in conjunction with other constraints (i.e., limited visual acuity, saccadic error) guide readers' eyes.
Eye Movements in Reading: Models and Data.
TL;DR: In this article, the role of models and data in further understanding the reading process is considered, and the differences between the E-Z Reader model and SWIFT model are reviewed, as are benchmark data that need to be accounted for by any model of eye movement control.
OB1-reader: A model of word recognition and eye movements in text reading.
TL;DR: A computational model of reading, OB1-reader, which integrates insights from both literatures and provides a fruitful and parsimonious theoretical framework for understanding reading behavior is presented.

Orienting of attention
TL;DR: This paper explores one aspect of cognition through the use of a simple model task in which human subjects are asked to commit attention to a position in visual space other than fixation by orienting a covert mechanism that seems sufficiently time locked to external events that its trajectory can be traced across the visual field in terms of momentary changes in the efficiency of detecting stimuli.
Eye movements in reading and information processing: 20 years of research.
TL;DR: The basic theme of the review is that eye movement data reflect moment-to-moment cognitive processes in the various tasks examined.
Computational modelling of visual attention.
Laurent Itti,Christof Koch +1 more
TL;DR: Five important trends have emerged from recent work on computational models of focal visual attention that emphasize the bottom-up, image-based control of attentional deployment, providing a framework for a computational and neurobiological understanding of visual attention.
A theory of reading: From eye fixations to comprehension.
TL;DR: A model of reading comprehension that accounts for the allocation of eye fixations of college students reading scientific passages is presented, embedded in a theoretical framework capable of accommodating the flexibility of reading.

A saliency-based search mechanism for overt and covert shifts of visual attention.
Laurent Itti,Christof Koch +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed computer implementation of a saliency map scheme is described, focusing on the problem of combining information across modalities, here orientation, intensity and color information, in a purely stimulus-driven manner, which is applied to common psychophysical stimuli as well as to a very demanding visual search task.
