Description
The distinguished contributors to this volume have been set the problem of describing how we know where to move our eyes. There is a great
deal of current interest in the use of eye movement recordings to investigate various mental processes. The common theme is that variations
in eye movements indicate variations in the processing of what is being perceived, whether in reading, driving or scene perception. However,
a number of problems of interpretation are now emerging, and this edited volume sets out to address these problems. The book investigates
controversies concerning the variations in eye movements associated with reading ability, concerning the extent to which text is used
by the guidance mechanism while reading, concerning the relationship between eye movements and the control of other body movements, the
relationship between what is inspected and what is perceived, and concerning the role of visual control attention in the acquisition
of complex perceptual-motor skills, in addition to the nature of the guidance mechanism itself.
The origins of the volume are in
discussions held at a meeting of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCOP) that was held in Wurzburg in September 1996. The
discussions concerned the landing effect in reading, an effect, that if substantiated, would provide evidence of the use of parafoveal
information in eye guidance, and these discussions were explored in more detail at a small meeting in Chamonix, in February 1997. Many
of the contributors to this volume were present at the meeting, but the arguments were not resolved in Chamonix either. Other leaders
in the field were invited to contribute to the discussion, and this volume is the product. The argument remains unresolved, but the problem
is certainly clearer.
Audience
For institutions, industry, private scientists, professionals and students in the fields of psychology, applied psychology and vision research.
