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.

Tracking the mind during reading: the influence of past, present, and future words on fixation durations.
TL;DR: This study replicates previous effects of frequency, predictability, and length of fixated words on fixation durations in natural reading and demonstrates new effects of these variables related to 144 sentences to challenge psycholinguistic immediacy-of-processing and eye-mind assumptions.
Eye Guidance in Reading: Fixation Locations within Words
TL;DR: In this study a number of descriptive analyses of eye movements in reading were carried out, and the results were supportive of models which suggest that determining where to look next while reading is made on a nonrandom basis.

Accurate visual memory for previously attended objects in natural scenes
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of scene perception and long-term memory was proposed, which showed that relatively detailed visual information is retained in memory from previously attended objects in natural scenes and that participants successfully detected type and token changes (Experiment 1) or token and rotation changes to a target object when the object had been previously attended but was no longer within the focus of attention when the change occurred.
Visual memory and motor planning in a natural task.
TL;DR: This paper investigated the temporal dependencies of natural vision by measuring eye and hand movements while subjects made a sandwich and found that much natural vision can be accomplished with "just-in-time" representations.

Eye guidance in reading and scene perception
Geoffrey Underwood
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of parafoveal words on foveal inspection time and landing position effects in reading was investigated. But the authors focused on the effect of visual search strategies in novice and experienced drivers.
