Publisher's Synopsis

Offering a tutorial on the use and interpretation of eye-movement data in reading, the text provides an examination of the underlying perceptual and cognitive processes of the adult skilled reader. Rayner and Pollatsek use these processes as a base to study more applied aspects and traditional methods of reading comprehension.;The book documents the learning process and instructional teaching methods and features specific chapters on reading problems and individual differences and alternative forms of reading - such as skimming and "speedreading". It also covers the topics of cognitive psychology, information intake during eye fixations, eye-movement control during reading, and the role of inner speech in integrating words.
