Abstract

In 3 experiments, with the 3 authors as Ss, a word or letter string initially appeared in parafoveal vision, followed by Ss' eye movements to the stimulus. During the saccade, the initially displayed stimulus was replaced by a word that Ss were asked to read. Results indicate that the types of prior parafoveal information studied facilitated the naming of the word. The effect was obtained when Ss made an eye movement and when the saccade was stimulated. There was also evidence that attentional allocation was tied to the direction of the eye movement. (16 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).
