This experiment explored the role of phonology in the activation of word meanings when homophonic and non homophonic errors were embedded in meaningful texts. The resulting data supported the position that phonological codes are activated very early in an eye fixation and are compatible with the verification model of Van Orden (1987).

We tested whether the E-Z Reader model can be generalised to French language. The simulation showed that the model can account for the frequency effect. The predictability effect is moreover accurate for words skipping but not for fixation times. We think that this model is psychologically plausible for certain aspects of reading and we used it to evaluate the performance of dyslexic readers.

This experiment employed the boundary paradigm during sentence reading to explore the nature of early phonological coding in reading. Fixation durations were shorter when the parafoveal preview was the correct word than when it was a spelling control pseudoword. In contrast, there was no significant difference between correct word and pseudohomophone previews. These results suggest that the ...

French readers’ eye movements were monitored as they read a passage of text. Initial global analyses of word frequency, accounting for the majority of fixations in the text, revealed a good fit between the observed data and the simulated data from the E-Z Reader 7 model of eye movement control. However, the model did not perform as well on simulations of contextual predictability effects. A...
