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.

- 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.

Early morphological effects in word recognition in Hebrew: Evidence from parafoveal preview benefit
TL;DR: This article examined the effect of the root morpheme on word identification by assessing parafoveal preview benefit effects, finding that the information of the preview was not consciously perceived, although the root's letters facilitated both naming and lexical decisions of target words derived from these roots.
Eye-Fixation-Related Potentials: Insight into Parafoveal Processing
Thierry Baccino,Yves Manunta +1 more
TL;DR: A new methodology for studying cognition is presented, which combines eye movements (EM) and event-related potentials (ERP) to track the cognitive processes that occur during a single eye fixation, to describe the controversial parafoveal-on-foveal effects on reading.
The processing of compound words in English: Effects of word length on eye movements during reading
TL;DR: Two experiments are reported which investigated morphological processing in English using bilexemic compound words and found that short compound words did show a large beginning lexeme frequency effect as well as whole word frequency effects, which will be problematic for parallel dual – route models to explain.
Do readers obtain preview benefit from word N + 2? A test of serial attention shift versus distributed lexical processing models of eye movement control in reading.
TL;DR: Two experiments tested predictions derived from serial lexical processing and parallel distributed models of eye movement control in reading and found that there was no preview benefit for a target word when the boundary was set at the end of word n - 2.
The role of semantic transparency in the processing of Finnish compound words
Alexander Pollatsek,Jukka Hyönä +1 more
TL;DR: It appears that the identification of both transparent and opaque long compound words takes place, at least in part, by accessing the constituent lexemes and does not rely on constructing the meaning from the components.
