Journal of Eye Movement Research, Volume 2, Issue 1

This is the first of a set of special issues to appear in the Journal emanating from the 14th European Conference on Eye Movements, held in Potsdam, Germany, in August 2007 [...]

The surprisal of a word on a probabilistic grammar constitutes a promising complexity metric for human sentence comprehension difficulty. Using two different grammar types, surprisal is shown to have an effect on fixation durations and regression pro...

Oculomotor error leads to a proportion of saccades during reading missing their intended target. Two kinds of mislocation occur: either a word is erroneously re-fixated, or a word that was about to skipped is erroneously fixated. In both cases record...

The predictability of an upcoming word has been found to be a useful predictor in eye movement research, but is expensive to collect and subjective in nature. It would be desirable to have other predictors that are easier to collect and objective in...

Semantic and syntactic influences during reading normal text were examined in a series of multiple regression analyses conducted on a large-scale corpus of eye-movement data. Two measures of contextual constraints, based on the syntactic descriptions...
