Establishing a time‐line of word recognition: evidence from eye movements and event‐related potentials
@article{Sereno1998EstablishingAT, title={Establishing a time‐line of word recognition: evidence from eye movements and event‐related potentials}, author={Sara C. Sereno and Keith Rayner and Michael I. Posner}, journal={NeuroReport}, year={1998}, volume={9}, pages={2195–2200} }
THE average duration of eye fixations in reading places constraints on the time for lexical processing. Data from event related potential (ERP) studies of word recognition can illuminate stages of processing within a single fixation on a word. In the present study, high and low frequency regular and exception words were used as targets in an eye movement reading experiment and a high-density electrode ERP lexical decision experiment. Effects of lexicality (word vs pseudoword vs consonant…

The results demonstrate that under more natural conditions, words are recognized in a spatiotemporally distributed and interdependent manner across multiple eye fixations, a process that is mediated by active motor behavior.

Data indicate that the brain’s response to lexical properties of a word is open to influences from top-down processes according to the representations that are relevant for the task, and this occurs from the earliest stages of visual recognition.

The results suggest that the activation of phonological codes is a very early component of reading, and an interaction of word frequency and word regularity is observed in naming and lexical decision experiments.

The results demonstrate that, although written words indeed elicit automatic recognition processes in the brain, the speed and quality of lexical processing critically depends on the top–down intention to engage in a linguistic task.

In this study, fixation duration on low-and high-frequency target words was examined as a function of fixation location and the number of fixations on a target word and the data are inconsistent with an oculomotor model.

The time-course model of word recognition suggests that effects of irregular spelling or pronunciation should be specific to more slowly recognized words, such as lower frequency items, as shown in previous studies and replicated here.

It was shown that saccadic suppression exists in reading; subjects are not affected by a mask as long as it is inserted during the saccade, and the visual sensitivity is recovered only partially at the initial part of fixation and is recovered fully approximately 70 msec after the beginning of the fixation.
