A theory of reading: From eye fixations to comprehension.
Abstract
Carnegie-Mellon University This article presents a model of reading comprehension that accounts for the allocation of eye fixations of college students reading scientific passages. The model deals with processing at the level of words, clauses, and text units. Readers make longer pauses at points where processing loads are greater. Greater loads occur while readers are accessing infrequent words, integrating information from important clauses, and making inferences at the ends of sen-tences. The model accounts forthe gaze duration on each word of text as a func-tion of the involvement of the various levels of processing. The model is em-bedded in a theoretical framework capable of accommodating the flexibility of reading. Although readers go through many of the same processes as listeners, there is one striking difference between reading and listening comprehension—a reader can

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.
