Differential Effects of Divided Attention on Object Representations
… been provided by studies of the object specific preview benefit. This dissertation seeks to examine the effect that dividing attention has on the maintenance of object representations. Using the tenets of object file theory and the cortical field hypothesis for dual task interference, it is …

Aging and semantic integration in sentence processing: Testing the cognitive workload of wrap-up
… and clause wrap-up affects the parafoveal preview benefit. Older and younger adults read passages in which a target word N occurred in a sentence-internal, clause-final, or sentence-final position. A gaze-contingent boundary change paradigm was used in which, on some trials, a non-word …

Towards a better understanding of prioritization of visual information during preview search
… to reflect both inhibitory-tagging of old previewed items and prioritization of the new items due to their more recent (and distinct) onset. This study investigates the nature of this inhibitory-tagging in two perspectives. Part I investigates whether this inhibitory-tagging is …

Understanding dyslexia by measuring eye-movements during reading.
… the boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975), parafoveal previews were either manipulated orthographically or phonologically. The results of these experiments indicated that readers with dyslexia gain parafoveal preview benefit during reading. Dyslexic children and adults demonstrated orthographic …

Processing in the perceptual span : investigations with the n+2-boundary paradigm
… to what spatial extent such parafoveal words are previewed and how this influences current and subsequent word processing. Four experiments investigated parafoveal processing close to the spatial limits of the perceptual span. The present work aims to go beyond mere existence proofs of previewing …

The Link Between Fixation Location and Attention During Reading: Its Extent and Nature
… 3 investigated the nature and range of word n+2 preview effects. In Experiment 2, word n+1 was either a determiner or 3-letter alternative higher frequency word; in Experiment 3, word n+1 was either a 4- or a 6-letter high frequency word. A gaze contingent display change technique was employed, …
