The timeline of word recognition and oculomotor control in reading

在上一个资助期间，我们通过同时记录眼动（EM）和事件相关电位（ERP），调查了有关阅读过程的基本和有争议的问题。基于我们的方法论和理论成就，我们建议现在集中讨论两个问题。第一，旁视信息的影响：是否存在基于意义的预览益处？这些影响是否由视旁视力的个体差异介导？第二，空间注意广度：是否影响的parafelial词依赖于困难的类型（知觉，词汇，语义/情感）加工的固定词？注意力分布的宽度是否随中央凹的加工负荷而动态调节？这些问题的答案将有助于完善阅读过程中的眼动控制模型，并将区分采用处理梯度和顺序注意力转移的框架。

During the previous funding period, we Investigated elementary and controversial issues concerning the processes involved in reading by simultaneous recording of eye movements(EM) and event-related potenfials (ERP). Based on our methodological and theorefical achievements, we propose to now focus on two issues. First, the influence of parafoveal information: Is there a preview benefit based on meaning? Are these effects mediated by Individual differences in parafoveal visual acuity? Second, spatial attention span: Does the influence of parafoveal words depend on the type of difficulty (perceptual, lexical,semantic/emofional) to process the fixated word? Is the width of the attentional distribution dynamically regulated as a function of processing load at the fovea? Answers to these questions will help to refine models of oculomotor control during reading and will distinguish between frameworks employing processing gradients versus sequenfial attention shifts.
