DESCRIPTION:
Taking a psycholinguistic perspective, the topics addressed include several levels of language processing from orthography to pragmatic information in sentence reading. parallel word processing and the fundamental question as to what extent the duration of fixations in reading is related to lexical processing. Related to this is the issue of serial vs. Clearly the most controversial question in this context concerns the allocation of attention, with positions ranging from a sequentially moving spotlight to a gradient of spatially distributed processing. The papers will be of particular appeal to readers interested in basic and applied psycholinguistics, attention and visual perception, motor control and the modelling of complex cognitive processes.. This Special Issue on eye movements and information processing in reading presents an overview of experimental research based on this methodology. Measurement and analysis of eye movements are two of the most powerful ways to study the workings of the human mind. Seen from the angle of visual information processing, a major theme is the role played by parafoveal information for different types and levels of processing and for oculomotor control in reading. Other papers reflect current theoretical discussions centered on the development of computational models of the reading process and contribute to the empirical base of these discussions.Taken together, this collecti
