The Rocky Road from Eye Fixations to Comprehension. Technical Report No. 207.

Year: 1981

Type: article

Abstract: In their article "A Theory of Reading:From Eye Fixations to Comprehension" and Carpenter (1980) present a model of reading comprehension.As support for this model, they present a simultaneous multiple regression analysis of Gaze Durations, a measure derived from eye movement records which is presented as a measure of processing time.The present paper discusses the issues involved in deriving a measure of processing time from eye movement records and suggests that Gaze Durations are an inappropriate measure.Additionally, the type of analysis they employ can only provide weak support for a real time theory of reading.
