 | | In addition to demonstrating that the eye regresses a small percentage of the time, Huey's study showed that the first fixation in a line is frequently not at the first word but at the second or even third; likewise, the final fixation is usually not at the last word. |
 | | The conclusions to be drawn from this experiment are, first, that local eye movement parameters (saccade size, regression probability, number of fixations, and perhaps fixation duration), are controlled sufficiently rapidly to be influenced from moment to moment by information concerning the lexical category of a word in peripheral vision.... |
 | | The eye movements of eighteen adult participants were recorded as they read a range of sentences, from highly constrained to relatively unconstrained, with word length and frequency controlled. |
