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.

Research Methods in Applied Linguistics
Zoltán Dörnyei
- 29 Dec 2007
TL;DR: In this article, a very practical and accessible book that offers a comprehensive overview of research methodology in applied linguistics by describing the various stages of qualitative and quantitative investigations, from collecting the data to reporting the results.

A taxonomy of external and internal attention.
TL;DR: A taxonomy based on the types of information that attention operates over--the targets of attention is proposed, providing an organizing framework that recasts classic debates, raises new issues, and frames understanding of neural mechanisms.
Attention and choice: a review on eye movements in decision making.
TL;DR: This paper reviews studies on eye movements in decision making, and compares their observations to theoretical predictions concerning the role of attention, finding that more accurate assumptions could have been made based on prior attention and eye movement research.

Beyond eye gaze: What else can eyetracking reveal about cognition and cognitive development?
TL;DR: Eyetracking measures provide non-invasive and rich indices of brain function and cognition and gaze analysis reveals current attentional focus and cognitive strategies.

Parafoveal processing in reading.
TL;DR: Research investigating how words are identified parafoveally (and foveally) in reading is summarized, and the extent to which words are processed at each of the levels of representation is summarized.

How important are linguistic factors in word skipping during reading
TL;DR: Re-examined this ambiguity in Dutch using a task that more closely resembles normal reading and observed only a 9% difference in skipping of the pronoun, bringing this linguistic effect in line with the other findings.
Crowding degrades saccadic search performance.
TL;DR: It is concluded that in order to understand eye movements in (everyday) tasks that require active exploration of the visual scene, crowding should be taken into account.
Eye Movements, Attention and Trans-saccadic Memory
TL;DR: The results indicate that attention determines what information is encoded into trans-saccadic memory and hence remembered across eye movements and because attention automatically precedes the eyes to the saccade target location, information near the sACC target is likely to be encoded.
Phonological codes are assembled before word fixation: Evidence from boundary paradigm in sentence reading.
TL;DR: It was found that fixation durations were shorter for orthographically similar parafoveal previews, and this orthographic priming effect is limited to pseudohomophones, suggesting that both the orthographic and the phonological similarities of the parafovesal preview to the target play a part in the facilitative effects of the preview.
