Readers tend to skip words, particularly when they are short, frequent, or predictable. Angele and Rayner (2013) recently reported that readers are often unable to detect syntactic anomalies in parafoveal vision. In the present study, we manipulated target word predictability to assess whether contextual constraint modulates…

A fair number of studies have reported only additive effects of the frequency and predictability of a target word on reading times on that word, failing to show significant…
