Drieghe, Denis; Pollatsek, Alexander; Juhasz, Barbara J.; Rayner, Keith – Cognition, 2010
A boundary change manipulation was implemented within a monomorphemic word (e.g., "fountaom" as a preview for "fountain"), where parallel processing should occur given adequate visual acuity, and within an unspaced compound ("bathroan" as a preview for "bathroom"), where some serial processing of the constituents is likely. Consistent with that…

Abbott, Matthew J.; Angele, Bernhard; Ahn, Y. Danbi; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Readers tend to skip words, particularly when they are short, frequent, or predictable. Angele and Rayner (2013) recently reported that readers are often unable to detect syntactic anomalies in parafoveal vision. In the present study, we manipulated target word predictability to assess whether contextual constraint modulates…

Angele, Bernhard; Laishley, Abby E.; Rayner, Keith; Liversedge, Simon P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
In a previous gaze-contingent boundary experiment, Angele and Rayner (2013) found that readers are likely to skip a word that appears to be the definite article "the" even when syntactic constraints do not allow for articles to occur in that position. In the present study, we investigated whether the word frequency of the preview of a…

Plummer, Patrick; Perea, Manuel; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Recent research has shown contextual diversity (i.e., the number of passages in which a given word appears) to be a reliable predictor of word processing difficulty. It has also been demonstrated that word-frequency has little or no effect on word recognition speed when accounting for contextual diversity in isolated word processing tasks. An…

Li, Xingshan; Gu, Junjuan; Liu, Pingping; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
In 2 experiments, we tested the prediction that reading is more efficient when characters belonging to a word are presented simultaneously than when they are not in Chinese reading using a novel variation of the moving window paradigm (McConkie & Rayner, 1975). In Experiment 1, we found that reading was slowed down when Chinese readers could…

Schotter, Elizabeth R.; Ferreira, Victor S.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Do we access information from any object we can see, or do we access information only from objects that we intend to name? In 3 experiments using a modified multiple object naming paradigm, subjects were required to name several objects in succession when previews appeared briefly and simultaneously in the same location as the target as well as at…

Angele, Bernhard; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
One of the words that readers of English skip most often is the definite article "the". Most accounts of reading assume that in order for a reader to skip a word, it must have received some lexical processing. The definite article is skipped so regularly, however, that the oculomotor system might have learned to skip the letter string…

Yang, Jinmian; Staub, Adrian; Li, Nan; Wang, Suiping; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Eye movements of Chinese readers were monitored as they read sentences containing a critical character that was either a 1-character word or the initial character of a 2-character word. Due to manipulation of the verb prior to the target word, the 1-character target word (or the first character of the 2-character target word) was either plausible…

Slattery, Timothy J.; Schotter, Elizabeth R.; Berry, Raymond W.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The processing of abbreviations in reading was examined with an eye movement experiment. Abbreviations were of 2 distinct types: acronyms (abbreviations that can be read with the normal grapheme-phoneme correspondence [GPC] rules, such as NASA) and initialisms (abbreviations in which the GPCs are letter names, such as NCAA). Parafoveal and foveal…

Staub, Adrian; Grant, Margaret; Clifton, Charles, Jr.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
In this brief rejoinder, we respond to Farmer, Monaghan, Misyak, and Christiansen (2011). We argue that the data still do not support the claim that reading time is affected by the phonological typicality of a word for its part of speech. We also question Farmer et al.'s claim that interleaving syntactic structures in an experiment modifies…

Rayner, Keith; Castelhano, Monica S.; Yang, Jinmian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Recent studies have suggested that eye movement patterns while viewing scenes differ for people from different cultural backgrounds and that these differences in how scenes are viewed are due to differences in the prioritization of information (background or foreground). The current study examined whether there are cultural differences in how…

Staub, Adrian; Grant, Margaret; Clifton, Charles, Jr.; Rayner, Keith – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
Using a word-by-word self-paced reading paradigm, T. A. Farmer, M. H. Christiansen, and P. Monaghan (2006) reported faster reading times for words that are phonologically typical for their syntactic category (i.e., noun or verb) than for words that are phonologically atypical. This result has been taken to suggest that language users are sensitive…
