Beyond cloze probability: Parafoveal processing of semantic and syntactic information during reading
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2018-06-01Theories of eye movement control in reading assume that early oculomotor decisions are determined by a word’s frequency and cloze probability. This assumption is challenged by evidence that readers are sensitive to the ...Open AccessArticle -
The effect of contextual plausibility on word skipping during reading
Veldre, Aaron; Reichle, Erik D.; Wong, Roslyn; Andrews, SallyPublished 2020-04-01Recent eye-movement evidence suggests readers are more likely to skip a high-frequency word than a low-frequency word independently of the semantic or syntactic acceptability of the word in the sentence. This has been ...Open AccessArticle -
How do task demands and aging affect lexical prediction during reading of natural texts?
Andrews, Sally; Veldre, Aaron; Wong, Roslyn; Yu, Lili; Reichle, Erik D.Published 2023Facilitated identification of predictable words during online reading has been attributed to the generation of predictions about upcoming words. But highly predictable words are relatively infrequent in natural texts, ...Open AccessArticle -
How does foveal processing difficulty affect parafoveal processing during reading?
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2018-12-01Models of eye movement control during reading assume that the difficulty of processing word n in a sentence modulates the depth of processing of the upcoming word/s (word n + 1) in the parafovea. This foveal load hypothesis ...Open AccessArticle -
How to find the right postdoctoral position for you
Tran, Dominic MD; Veldre, AaronPublished 2019-06-20The increasingly competitive academic job market has forced PhD graduates in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields to maximize their research output and secure grant funding during the early postdoctoral period of ...Open AccessArticle -
Individual differences in eye movements during skilled reading
Veldre, AaronPublished 2015-02-01Despite a large and established literature, studies of eye movements during skilled reading generally assume uniformity at the participant level. However, there is growing evidence that individual differences in reading ...USyd AccessThesis -
Is it smart to read on your phone? The impact of reading format and culture on the continued influence of misinformation
Xu, Yi; Wong, Roslyn; He, Shuhan; Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2020-01-01Despite advances in digital technology that have resulted in more people accessing information via mobile devices, little is known about reading comprehension on mobile phones. This research investigated the impact of ...Open AccessArticle -
Is semantic preview benefit due to relatedness or plausibility?
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2016-07-01There is increasing evidence that skilled readers of English benefit from processing a parafoveal preview of a semantically related word. However, in previous investigations of semantic preview benefit using the gaze-contingent ...Open AccessArticle -
Measuring lexical quality: The role of spelling ability
Andrews, Sally; Veldre, Aaron; Clarke, Indako E.Published 2020-01-01The construct of ‘lexical quality’ (Perfetti, 2007) is widely invoked in literature on word recognition and reading to refer to a systematic dimension of individual differences that predicts performance in a range of word ...Open AccessArticle -
A Neural Implementation of MINERVA 2
Reichle, Erik D.; Veldre, Aaron; Yu, Lili; Andrews, SallyPublished 2022The MINERVA 2 (Hintzman, 1984) model of human memory has been used to simulate a variety of cognitive phenomena. These simulations, however, describe cognitive phenomena at Marr’s (1982) representation/algorithm level, ...Open AccessConference paper -
Parafoveal preview benefit in sentence reading: Independent effects of plausibility and orthographic relatedness
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2017-04-01Recent evidence from studies using the gaze-contingent boundary paradigm suggests that parafoveal preview benefit is contingent on the fit between a preview word and the sentence context. We investigated whether this ...Open AccessArticle -
Parafoveal preview effects depend on both preview plausibility and target predictability
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2018-01-01Recent studies using the boundary paradigm have shown that readers benefit from a parafoveal preview of a plausible continuation of the sentence. This plausibility preview effect occurs irrespective of the semantic or ...Open AccessArticle -
Predictability effects and parafoveal processing in older readers
Veldre, Aaron; Wong, Roslyn; Andrews, SallyPublished 2021-10-27Normative aging is accompanied by visual and cognitive changes that impact the systems that are critical for fluent reading. The patterns of eye movements during reading displayed by older adults have been characterized ...Open AccessArticle -
Reading proficiency predicts the extent of the right, but not left, perceptual span in older readers
Veldre, Aaron; Wong, Roslyn; Andrews, SallyPublished 2020-01-01The gaze-contingent moving-window paradigm was used to assess the size and symmetry of the perceptual span in older readers. The eye movements of 49 cognitively intact older adults (60-88 years) were recorded as they read ...Open AccessArticle -
Semantic preview benefit in English: Individual differences in the extraction and use of parafoveal semantic information
Veldre, Aaron; Andrews, SallyPublished 2016-06-01While there is robust evidence that skilled readers of English extract and use orthographic and phonological information from the parafovea to facilitate word identification, semantic preview benefits are more elusive. We ...Open AccessArticle -
Spelling ability selectively predicts the magnitude of disruption in unspaced text reading
Veldre, Aaron; Drieghe, Denis; Andrews, SallyPublished 2017-09-01We examined the effect of individual differences in written language proficiency on unspaced text reading in a large sample of skilled adult readers who were assessed on reading comprehension and spelling ability. Participants’ ...Open AccessArticle -
Towards a complete model of reading: Simulating lexical decision, word naming, and sentence reading with Über-Reader
Veldre, Aaron; Yu, Lili; Andrews, Sally; Reichle, Erik D.Published 2020-01-01This paper presents simulations of eye movements during reading, lexical decision, and naming using Über-Reader, a new computational model that aims to provide a complete account of the perceptual, cognitive, and motor ...Open AccessArticle -
Understanding the visual constraints on lexical processing: New empirical and simulation results
Veldre, Aaron; Reichle, Erik D.; Yu, Lili; Andrews, SallyPublished 2023Word identification is slower and less accurate outside central vision, but the precise relationship between retinal eccentricity and lexical processing is not well specified by models of either word identification or ...Open AccessArticle -
What is the most plausible account of the role of parafoveal processing in reading?
Andrews, Sally; Veldre, AaronPublished 2019-01-01Online reading requires exquisitely precise co-ordination of the oculomotor processes involved in extracting and integrating information from both the word currently fixated in foveal vision and upcoming words in the ...Open AccessArticle -
