Word properties of a fixated region affect outgoing saccade length in Chinese reading
In two experiments, we investigated how forward saccades are targeted in Chinese reading. In Experiment 1, the critical region was a 4-character string which was either a word (one-word condition) or two 2-character word phrases (two-word condition). In Experiment 2, the critical region was either a high frequency word or a low frequency word. The outgoing saccade length from the last fixation ...
متن کاملEye movements and word skipping during reading: effects of word length and predictability.
Eye movements were monitored as subjects read sentences containing high- or low-predictable target words. The extent to which target words were predictable from prior context was varied: Half of the target words were predictable, and the other half were unpredictable. In addition, the length of the target word varied: The target words were short (4-6 letters), medium (7-9 letters), or long (10-...
متن کاملWord length effects in Hebrew.
Numerous lateralization studies have reported that word length has a stronger effect in the left visual field (LVF) than in the right visual field (RVF) for right-handed people due to hemispheric asymmetry for language processing. Alternatively, early perceptual learning theory argued that the length effects might depend on the frequency of having read words at various lengths displayed at diff...
متن کاملWord structure and decomposition effects in reading.
Theories on the processing of compound words differ on the role attributed to access to individual constituents. These theories are mostly based on empirical evidence obtained in experimental settings that could induce artificial effects normally not occurring in natural processing. In this study we investigated the processing of compounds as compared to noncompound complex words in Italian thr...
متن کاملWord length and landing position effects during reading in children and adults
The present study examined the effects of word length on children's eye movement behaviour when other variables were carefully controlled. Importantly, the results showed that word length influenced children's reading times and fixation positions on words. Furthermore, children exhibited stronger word length effects than adults in gaze durations and refixations. Adults and children generally di...
