The E-Z Reader model assumes that the parafoveal selection for fixation and the subsequent selection for attention allocation encompass the same spatially distinct letter cluster. Recent data suggest, however, that an individual letter sequence is selected for fixation and that more than one letter sequence can be selected for attention allocation (processing).

Notes

1. The blank target space in the mismatched length condition was replaced with an uninformative letter in the matched length condition to reveal the identical sequence of useful and non-useful parafoveal letters in both conditions.

2. This does not consider potential inaccuracies due to oculomotor error.
