Peer reviewedNodine, Calvin F.; Lang, Norma J. – Developmental Psychology, 1971
Eye movement of nonreaders (kindergarten subjects) and readers (third-grade subjects) were measured during a visual discrimination task involving matched and unmatched pairs of four-letter pseudowords. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses support the conclusion that the development of perceptual strategies is a direct result of increasing…

Peer reviewedMorrison, Robert E.; Inhoff, Albrecht-Werner – Visible Language, 1981
Discusses the effects on oculomotor behavior of variations of the physical attributes of text and similar effects from physical word cues processed in the reader's parafoveal vision. (HOD)

Peer reviewedBrady, Michael – Visible Language, 1981
Presents computational and psychophysical evidence in support of a theory of one of the earliest stages of visual processing in reading--the isolation of words in text. (HOD)

Peer reviewedPollatsek, Alexander; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1982
The functions of spaces between words in adult reading of text were investigated in three experiments. Results were consistent with a two-process theory in which filling parafoveal spaces disrupts guidance of the next eye movement and filling foveal spaces disrupts processing of the fixated word as well.

A study investigated the size of the perceptual span within which adults use visual information to distinguish among letters as they read. The eye movements of fifteen college students were monitored as they read passages from a cathode-ray tube. On occasional fixations, letters in specified visual regions were replaced by other letters. The…

O'Bryan, K. G.; Silverman, Harry – 1972
Special equipment was used to record the eye movement patterns of 60 children enrolled in a reading clinic. There were 20 children in each of three groups: good readers, slow readers, and non-readers. The children were shown printed material on a screen accompanied by action sequences and voice recordings similar to what they might see on…

Fisher, Dennis F. – 1976
Some basic pattern-analyzing functions that occur during the reading process are described in this paper. The functions deal mainly with the analysis of typographical factors such as word shape, spacing, and orientation, but they also interact with contextual variables. The research interpreted in the paper proposes an attentional model of reading…
