The Fröhlich effect: a consequence of the interaction of visual focal attention and metacontrast.

abstract：:In research on eye-movement control during reading, the importance of cognitive processes related to language comprehension relative to visuomotor aspects of saccade generation is the topic of an ongoing debate. Here we investigate various eye-movement measures during reading of randomly shuffled meaningless text as c...
