  • Semantic preview benefit in eye movements during reading: A parafoveal fast-priming study.
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning Memory and Cognition, 2010
    Co-Authors: Sven Hohenstein, Jochen Laubrock, Reinhold Kliegl
    Abstract:

    : Eye movements in reading are sensitive to foveal and parafoveal word features. Whereas the influence of orthographic or phonological parafoveal information on gaze control is undisputed, there has been no reliable evidence for early parafoveal extraction of semantic information in Alphabetic Script. Using a novel combination of the gaze-contingent fast-priming and boundary paradigms, we demonstrate semantic preview benefit when a semantically related parafoveal word was available during the initial 125 ms of a fixation on the pretarget word (Experiments 1 and 2). When the target location was made more salient, significant parafoveal semantic priming occurred only at 80 ms (Experiment 3). Finally, with short primes only (20, 40, 60 ms), effects were not significant but were numerically in the expected direction for 40 and 60 ms (Experiment 4). In all experiments, fixation durations on the target word increased with prime durations under all conditions. The evidence for extraction of semantic information from the parafoveal word favors an explanation in terms of parallel word processing in reading.

  • flexible saccade target selection in chinese reading
    Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Ming Yan, Reinhold Kliegl, Eike M Richter, Antje Nuthmann, Hua Shu
    Abstract:

    As Chinese is written without orthographical word boundaries (i.e., spaces), it is unclear whether saccade targets are selected on the basis of characters or words and whether saccades are aimed at the beginning or the centre of words. Here, we report an experiment where 30 Chinese readers read 150 sentences while their eye movements were monitored. They exhibited a strong tendency to fixate at the word centre in single-fixation cases and at the word beginning in multiple-fixation cases. Different from spaced Alphabetic Script, initial fixations falling at the end of words were no more likely to be followed by a refixation than initial fixations at word centre. Further, single fixations were shorter than first fixations in two-fixation cases, which is opposite to what is found in Roman Script. We propose that Chinese readers dynamically select the beginning or centre of words as saccade targets depending on failure or success with segmentation of parafoveal word boundaries.

  • chinese readers extract semantic information from parafoveal words during reading
    The Mind Research Repository, 2009
    Co-Authors: Eike M Richter, Reinhold Kliegl
    Abstract:

    Evidence for semantic preview benefit (PB) from parafoveal words has been elusive for reading Alphabetic Scripts such as English. Here we report semantic PB for noncompound characters in Chinese reading with the boundary paradigm. In addition, PBs for orthographic relatedness and, as a numeric trend, for phono- logical relatedness were obtained. Results are in agreement with other research suggesting that the Chinese writing system is based on a closer association between graphic form and meaning than is Alphabetic Script. We discuss implications for notions of serial attention shifts and parallel distributed processing of words during reading. Yan, M., Richter, E., Shu, H., & Kliegl, R. (2009).
