abstract = {Reading requires the orchestration of visual, attentional, language-related, and oculomotor processing
constraints. This study replicates previous effects of frequency, predictability, and length of fixated words
on fixation durations in natural reading and demonstrates new effects of these variables related to
previous and next words. Results are based on fixation durations recorded from 222 persons, each reading
144 sentences. Such evidence for distributed processing of words across fixation durations challenges
psycholinguistic immediacy-of-processing and eye-mind assumptions. Most of the time the mind
processes several words in parallel at different perceptual and cognitive levels. Eye movements can help
to unravel these processes.
