Notes that when people are simultaneously presented with spoken language and a visual field containing elements semantically related to the informative items of speech, they tend to spontaneously direct their line of sight to those elements which are most closely related to the meaning of the language currently heard. Such behavior may be viewed as an active on-line anticipative process, whereby the contemporary visual field of an O is subjected to his continual interpretation in terms of the language heard; and, conversely, as a process in which continuous speech is interpreted from moment to moment in the context of the contemporary visual field. In the present study, approximately 55% of all appropriately directed fixation responses elicited from 40 university students by the informative words of a prose passage were initiated even while these words were being pronounced, and nearly 40% of postword responses occurred within. 2 sec after word termination. The linguistic sensitivity of this response system, together with its associated small latencies, suggests its use as a practical new research tool for the real-time investigation of perceptual and cognitive processes.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
