Mathematical models have become an important tool for understanding the control of eye movements
during reading. Main goals of the development of the SWIFT model (R. Engbert, A. Longtin, & R.
Kliegl, 2002) were to investigate the possibility of spatially distributed processing and to implement a
general mechanism for all types of eye movements observed in reading experiments. The authors present
an advanced version of SWIFT that integrates properties of the oculomotor system and effects of word
recognition to explain many of the experimental phenomena faced in reading research. They propose new
procedures for the estimation of model parameters and for the test of the model's performance. They also
present a mathematical analysis of the dynamics of the SWIFT model. Finally, within this framework,
they present an analysis of the transition from parallel to serial processing.
