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.

Eye movement control during reading: Evidence for direct control
Keith Rayner,Alexander Pollatsek +1 more
TL;DR: Support is provided for a mixed control model of eye movements in reading, in which decisions about when and where to move the eyes are based on information from the current fixation, the prior fixations, and possibly, other sources as well.

Integrating visual information from successive fixations
TL;DR: The results of this experiment implicate a process that integrates by summing information from successive fixations after spatially reconciling the information from each glimpse that produces a memory image that preserves the properly reconciled information from consecutive fixations.

Eye Movement Control during Reading: II. Frequency of Refixating a Word. Technical Report No. 469.
G. W. McConkie
- 01 May 1989
TL;DR: The authors found that the frequency of immediately refixating a word following an initial eye fixation on it varies with the location of that fixation, and that the refixation frequency is lowest near the center of the word, posi-tively accelerating with distance from the center.

Speed and accuracy of saccadic eye movements: characteristics of impulse variability in the oculomotor system.
TL;DR: Dynamic characteristics observed in the trajectories of saccadic eye movements reveal systematic variability of the force pulses used to move the eyes, which causes saccades to exhibit a linear speed-accuracy trade-off.

THEORETICAL AND REVIEW A RTICLES Using E-Z Reader to model the effects of higher level language processing on eye movements during reading
Erik D. Reichle,Tessa W Arren,Kerry McConnell +2 more
- 01 Jan 2009
TL;DR: In this paper, the E-Z Reader model is augmented with higher level postlexical language processing to capture the patterns of eye movements that are observed when such processing is slowed or disrupted.
