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.

Saccade size control in reading: Evidence for the linguistic control hypothesis
TL;DR: It follows that knowledge of the lexicon can combine with information from peripheral vision fast enough to influence saccade size from moment to moment.
Control of fixation duration in a simple search task
TL;DR: A preprogramming model of the control of fixation duration during visual search appears to be indirect in a simple search task and is supported by the results of an experiment carried out under two conditions.
The perceptual span and oculomotor activity during the reading of Chinese sentences.
Albrecht W. Inhoff,Weimin Liu +1 more
TL;DR: Eye-movement-contingent display changes were used to control the visibility of characters during the reading of Chinese text, revealing substantial similarities in the coding of morphographic Chinese and alphabetic English texts, indicating that text-specific coding routines are subordinated to general coding principles.

Against parafoveal semantic preprocessing during eye fixations in reading.
TL;DR: Si un pretraitement semantique automatique de mots en parafoveal survenait pendant la lecture, the presence d'un mot semantiquement relie devrait faciliter le traitement du mot-cible.
