Subjects' eye fixations in a target region were examined as a function of how far the eye was from the beginning of a target word on the previous fixation. Prior to fixation of the target word, a letter string in the target location (which was then in the parafovea) was either visually similar or visually dissimilar to the target word. The results indicated that letter information was extracted...

Thai has an alphabetic script with a distinctive feature - it has no spaces between words. Since previous research with spaced alphabetic systems (e.g., English) has suggested that readers use spaces to guide eye movements, it is of interest to investigate what physical factors might guide Thai readers' eye movements. Here the effects of word-initial and word-final position-specific character f...

Eye movements depend on cognitive processes related to visual information processing. Much has been learned about the spatial selection of fixation locations, while the principles governing the temporal control (fixation durations) are less clear. Here, we review current theories for the control of fixation durations in tasks like visual search, scanning, scene perception, and reading and propo...
