SWIFT: A Dynamical Model of Saccade Generation During Reading.
Abstract
Mathematical models have become an important tool for understanding the control of eye movements during reading. Main goals of the development of the SWIFT model (R. Engbert, A. Longtin, & R. Kliegl, 2002) were to investigate the possibility of spatially distributed processing and to implement a general mechanism for all types of eye movements observed in reading experiments. The authors present an advanced version of SWIFT that integrates properties of the oculomotor system and effects of word recognition to explain many of the experimental phenomena faced in reading research. They propose new procedures for the estimation of model parameters and for the test of the model's performance. They also present a mathematical analysis of the dynamics of the SWIFT model. Finally, within this framework, they present an analysis of the transition from parallel to serial processing.

“As an alternative explanation, Vitu et al. (2001) argued that the fixation-duration trade-off effect in two-fixation cases results from the fact that the IOVP effect is found for both first and second fixation durations, combined with the statistical fact that initial fixations near the center of a word (which tend to…”

“To guide the evaluation and comparison of different models, a number of criteria were proposed by Jacobs and Grainger (1994). Here we discuss the following criteria: (a) plausibility, (b) interpretability, (c) generalizability, and (d) complexity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
