The effects of alcohol on eye movements during reading.

چکیده
In an experimental double-blind placebo study of 18 subjects (mean age 26.2 years), we investigated the effect of three blood alcohol concentrations (0.0%, 0.05% and 0.1%) on five visuomotor reading parameters: (1) number of eye fixations per 100 words read; (2) the number of words read per minute; (3) the number of regressions per 100 words read; (4) the saccadic length; (5) the duration of eye fixations. The number of fixations and the duration of eye fixations increased significantly as a function of increased breath alcohol concentration. There were no significant changes in the other visuomotor reading parameters.

متن کاملRunning head: EYE LANDING POSITIONS DURING READING Linguistic and Non-Linguistic Influences on the Eyes’ Landing Positions During Reading
Two eye tracking experiments show that, for near launch sites, the eyes land nearer to the beginning of words with orthographically irregular than regular initial letter sequences. In addition, the characteristics of words, at least at the level of orthography, influence the direction and length of within word saccades. Importantly, these effects hold both for lower case and visually less disti...
متن کاملApplication of eye tracking technology for screening and rehabilitation of children with special needs.
Eye tracking is a technology for measuring eye movements when looking at a point. The length of time to look at a particular situation, the sequence of observations, as well as points of attention are processed in the process of eye tracking and eye movements are identified by topics such as fixation, saccade, etc. Information about how the eyes move at a special moment has many potential appli...
