Interference is assumed to arise from overwriting of features shared by these items. The model was fit to time-accuracy data of memory-updating tasks from four experiments using nonlinear mixed effect (NLME) models as a framework. The model gave a good account of the data from a numerical and a spatial task version. The performance pattern in a combination of numerical and spatial updating could be explained by variations in the interference parameter: assuming less feature overlap between contents from different domains than between contents from the same domain, the model can account for double dissociations of content domains in dual-task experiments. Experiment 3 extended this idea to similarity within the verbal domain. The decline of memory accuracy with increasing memory load was steeper with phonologically similar than with dissimilar material, although processing speed was faster for the similar material. The model captured the similarity effects with a higher estimated interference parameter for the similar than for the dissimilar condition. The results are difficult to explain with alternative models, in particular models incorporating time-based decay and models assuming limited resource pools.}, keywords = {model visualperception workingmemory } } @article{journals/corr/abs-0802-2201, title = {Reconstruction of eye movements during blinks}, author = {M.

All three types of miniature eye movements generate small random displacements of the retinal image when viewing a stationary scene. Here we investigate the modulation of microsaccades by shifts of covert attention in a classical spatial cueing paradigm. First, we replicate the suppression of microsaccades with a minimum rate about 150 ms after cue onset. Second, as a new finding we observe microsaccadic enhancement with a maximum rate about 350 ms after presentation of the cue. Third, we find a modulation of the orientation towards the cue direction. These multiple influences of visual attention on microsaccades accentuate their role for visual information processing. Furthermore, our results suggest that microsaccades can be used to map the orientation of visual attention in psychophysical experiments.}, doi = {}, pmid = {12676246}, keywords = {B_scanpathsimilarity algorithm eyemovements saccades vision } } @article{journals/bc/EngbertK01, title = {Mathematical models of eye movements in reading: a possible role for autonomous saccades.}, author = {Ralf Engbert and Reinhold Kliegl}, journal = {Biological Cybernetics}, number = {2}, pages = {77-87}, url = {http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/journals/bc/bc85.html#EngbertK01}, volume = {85}, year = {2001}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/259ec9f71b2040b40edc5e1ba7b6feb85/dblp}, description = {dblp}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/PL00008001}, date = {2007-09-17}, keywords = {dblp } } @inbook{SchlesewskyEtAl2000, title = {The subject preference in the processing of locally ambiguous wh-questions in German}, author = {Matthias Schlesewsky and Gisbert Fanselow and Reinhold Kliegl and Josef Krems}, booktitle = {German Sentence Processing}, editor = {Barbara Hemforth and Lars Konieczny}, publisher = {Kluver}, year = {2000}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/23f70781544bc3e187e1fa82c351f803e/tmalsburg}, abstract = {The processing of locally ambiguous wh-phrases has received much attention in the last years, and experimental results reported in the literature converge in at least one respect: if a clause-initial NP is locally ambiguous between a subject and an object interpretation, the human parser strongly prefers the former reading. The present chapter constitutes no exception to this general picture. Our focus therefore does not so much lie in the identification of surprising new data, but rather on establishing that the subject preference is an ubiquituous phenomenon in German, and in particular on showing that it is caused by a syntax-related aspect of sentence processing (and not, say, by tuning to frequencies, by semantic preferences, etc.). Another issue is the identification of the point of time in on-line processing at which the subject preference is established. A series of four self-paced reading and two offline studies investigating various types of German wh-questions will be presented, which strongly support a syntactic interpretation of the subject preference. We will discuss these results in the context of a broader framework covering the processing of unambiguous questions as well (cf. Schlesewsky, Fanselow, and Kliegl 1997a), which takes differences in memory load to be the crucial factor in the processing of wh-questions. }, keywords = {ambiguityresolution german readingtime selfpacedreading sentenceprocessing } } @inbook{KlieglEngbert2003, title = {SWIFT Explorations}, author = {Reinhold Kliegl and Ralf Engbert}, booktitle = {The Mind's Eye: Cognitive and Applied Aspects of Eye Movement Research}, publisher = {Elsevier Science Ltd.}, year = {2003}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2060dd60d807140820306fda26552b5e8/tmalsburg}, abstract = {SWIFT is a computational model of eye guidance in reading.
