Characters outside a window of legible text were replaced by visually similar characters. Results show that the influence of window size on the perceptual span was consistent across different fixation and oculomotor measures. To maintain normal reading behavior when reading aloud, it was necessary to have information provided from three characters to the right of the fixation. Together with findings from previous research, our findings suggest that the physical size of the perceptual span is smaller when reading aloud than in silent reading. This is in agreement with previous studies in English, suggesting that the mechanisms causing the reduced span in oral reading have a common base that generalizes across languages and writing systems.}, language = {en} } @misc{LaubrockEngbertCajar2017, author = {Laubrock, Jochen and Engbert, Ralf and Cajar, Anke}, title = {Gaze-contingent manipulation of the FVF demonstrates the importance of fixation duration for explaining search behavior}, series = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, volume = {40}, journal = {Behavioral and brain sciences : an international journal of current research and theory with open peer commentary}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.
