The two leading computational models in the field of eye-movement research on reading (i.e., E-Z Reader and SWIFT) have motivated a great deal of informative empirical studies. These studies suggest, for example, that parafoveal-on-foveal effects that were thought to be decisive between the models are more complex in their nature than previously assumed, and that their empirical inconsistency may be an important indicator for their temporal structure. In fact, they appear to be temporally delayed.The goals of the present research proposal are (1) to empirically establish the boundary conditions of this novel delayed parafoveal-on-foveal effect, (2) to investigate the temporal structure of integrating foveal and parafoveal word-information on the timing of saccade programs, and (3) to simulate the data with respect to different theoretical proposals on attention allocation, word processing, and saccadic timing during reading. The empirical findings will document new details on the integration of foveal and parafoveal word-recognition processes inside the perceptual span during reading. How this can be accounted for within the models will be answered with simulations. In contrast to previous approaches, the present proposal aims at studying different theoretical assumptions within the same model framework. Including also novel combinations of principles not incorporated in current reading models, the results will contribute much to our understanding of the interaction between processing and movement timing in eye guidance during reading.

阅读眼动研究领域的两个主要计算模型(即E-Z Reader和SWIFT)激发了大量信息丰富的实证研究。例如，这些研究表明，被认为在两个模型之间起决定性作用的副中心凹效应在本质上比之前假设的更加复杂，并且它们的经验不一致性可能是它们时间结构的重要指标。本研究的目标是：(1)经验地建立这种新的延迟旁中心凹效应的边界条件；(2)研究整合中心凹和旁中央凹词汇信息的时间结构；(3)模拟不同的注意分配、文字加工和阅读时的眼跳计时理论建议下的数据。这些经验发现将记录阅读过程中知觉范围内中央凹和副中央凹单词识别过程整合的新细节。如何在模型中解释这一点，将通过模拟来回答。与以往的做法不同，本提案的目的是在同一模式框架内研究不同的理论假设。包括目前阅读模型中没有包含的新的原理组合，这些结果将有助于我们理解阅读过程中眼动引导中加工和运动计时之间的相互作用。
