Description
Publication abstract: Readers continuously receive parafoveal information about the upcoming word in addition to the foveal information about the currently fixated word. Previous research (Inhoff, Radach, Starr, & Greenberg, 2000) showed that the presence of a parafoveal word which was similar to the foveal word facilitated processing of the foveal word. In three experiments, we used the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) to manipulate the parafoveal information that subjects received before or while fixating a target word (e.g. news) within a sentence. Specifically a reader’s parafovea could contain a repetition of the target (news), a correct preview of the post-target word (once), an unrelated word (warm), random letters (cxmr), a nonword neighbor of the target (niws), a semantically related word (tale), or a nonword neighbor of that word (tule). Target fixation times were significantly lower in the parafoveal repetition condition than in all other conditions, suggesting that foveal processing can be facilitated by parafoveal repetition. We present a simple model framework that can account for these effects.

The EyeTrack script files for the two experiments are located in their respective "Materials" components, and the data in "Data" components in raw text format (ASC), interim processed DA1 format, and items-by-subjects files (IXS) used in the analysis. Files and scripts used in EyeDry data processing (e.g., data list files, count files, question accuracy) are located in the "Processing" sub-directories. See the Guide (Related Resource link, below) for details on some of the different types of files and column definitions that are contained in the data collection.
