Eye Movements During Reading | Psychology | University of Southampton

Project Overview

In this program of research we are interested in the psychological processes active during the processing of written linguistic material. The following topics are of particular interest to our group:

Eye Movements and Language Processing
Binocularity, Reading and Depth Perception
Children’s eye movement control during reading
Eye Movements during reading in languages which use non-latin alphabet (e.g. Arabic) or which are logographic in nature (e.g. Chinese)
Bilingualism
