Children's Eye-Movements during Reading Reflect the Quality of Lexical Representations: An Individual Differences Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Luke, Steven G.; Henderson, John M.; Ferreira, Fernanda – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
The lexical quality hypothesis (Perfetti & Hart, 2002) suggests that skilled reading requires high-quality lexical representations. In children, these representations are still developing, and it has been suggested that this development leads to more adult-like eye-movement behavior during the reading of connected text. To test this idea, a…

Eye Movement Control in Scene Viewing and Reading: Evidence from the Stimulus Onset Delay Paradigm
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Luke, Steven G.; Nuthmann, Antje; Henderson, John M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2013
The present study used the stimulus onset delay paradigm to investigate eye movement control in reading and in scene viewing in a within-participants design. Short onset delays (0, 25, 50, 200, and 350 ms) were chosen to simulate the type of natural processing difficulty encountered in reading and scene viewing. Fixation duration increased…

Mental Layout Extrapolations Prime Spatial Processing of Scenes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gottesman, Carmela V. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Four experiments examined whether scene processing is facilitated by layout representation, including layout that was not perceived but could be predicted based on a previous partial view (boundary extension). In a priming paradigm (after Sanocki, 2003), participants judged objects' distances in photographs. In Experiment 1, full scenes (target),…
