Sensory and Cognitive Determinants of Reading Speed
Jackson, Mark D.; McClelland, James L.
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 14, 6, 565-574, Dec 75

Fast readers appear to pick up more information per fixation on structured textual material, and had a greater span of apprehension for unrelated elements. Results disagree with the view that reading speed depends solely on ability to infer missing information. (CHK)
