    This study introduces a moving window reading method that mimics natural eye-fixation patterns. This technique reveals that readers process words immediately, pausing longer for complex or important words.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Reading Science

    Background:

    • Understanding reading behavior is crucial for optimizing text presentation.
    • Traditional eye-tracking methods provide valuable data but can be intrusive.
    • Developing alternative methods to study reading is essential for broader accessibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel reading paradigm, the "moving window condition," for collecting reading-time data.
    • To compare the data generated by the moving window condition with natural eye-fixation data.
    • To investigate the immediate word processing hypothesis in reading.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementing a "moving window condition" where participants press a button to reveal successive words.

  • Collecting reading-time data from the moving window condition.
  • Comparing these data with eye-fixation data from subjects reading normal text.
  • Analyzing word-level effects such as word length, frequency, and sentence position.

    • Main Results:

    • The moving window condition generated reading-time data qualitatively and quantitatively similar to natural eye-fixation data.
    • Readers consistently paused longer on longer words, less frequent words, topic-introducing words, and at sentence endings.
    • Findings support the hypothesis that readers initiate word processing immediately upon encountering words.

    Conclusions:

    • The moving window condition is a viable alternative for studying reading behavior and text presentation.
    • Reading involves immediate word processing rather than delayed buffering.
    • Further research can explore interactions between immediate processing and other text presentation techniques like Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP).
