TY - JOUR A1 - Engbert, Ralf A1 - Kliegl, Reinhold T1 - The game of word skipping : who are the competitors? N2 - Computational models such as E-Z Reader and SWIFT are ideal theoretical tools to test quantitatively our current understanding of eye-movement control in reading. Here we present a mathematical analysis of word skipping in the E-Z Reader model by semianalytic methods, to highlight the differences in current modeling approaches. In E-Z Reader, the word identification system must outperform the oculomotor system to induce word skipping. In SWIFT, there is competition among words to be selected as a saccade target. We conclude that it is the question of competitors in the "game" of word skipping that must be solved in eye movement research Y1 - 2003 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16595 ER -
