Abstract:
Measures of eye movements provide a moment-by-moment account of the visual and cognitive processes that underlie normal reading. These measures have been used to develop computational models that underlie reading for Latinate languages like English. However, little is known about the processes underlying reading for Semitic languages like Arabic that have different visual and linguistic characteristics. Thus, this thesis aims to examine the foveal and parafoveal processing of Arabic words during normal reading. The eight experiments herein provide a novel investigation of how linguistic, typographic, and visual features of Arabic influence eye movements during reading. Experiments 1 and 2 investigated effects of word predictability, finding that Arabic readers use contextual cues to facilitate word processing. The findings also indicated that readers engage in more detailed parafoveal processing when words are less morphologically complex, and when key letters are visible parafoveally. Experiments 3-5 ...
