How arbitrary is language? by Monaghan, Padraic, Shillcock, Richard C., Christiansen, Morten H., Kirby, Simon

“…It is a long established convention that the relationship between sounds and meanings of words is essentially arbitrary—typically the sound of a word gives no…”

Is there a burden attached to synaesthesia? Health screening of synaesthetes in the general population by Carmichael, Duncan A., Smees, Rebecca, Shillcock, Richard C., Simner, Julia

“…Synaesthesia has long been considered a benign alternative form of perception most often associated with positive rather than negative outcomes. The condition…”

Rethinking the Word Frequency Effect: The Neglected Role of Distributional Information in Lexical Processing by McDonald, Scott A., Shillcock, Richard C.

“…Attempts to quantify lexical variation have produced a large number of theoretical and empirical constructs, such as Word Frequency, Concreteness, and…”

The implications of foveal splitting for saccade planning in reading by McDonald, Scott A., Shillcock, Richard C.

“…The human fovea and visual pathways are precisely split: information in one hemifield is initially projected to the contralateral visual cortex. This…”

Eye Movements Reveal the On-Line Computation of Lexical Probabilities during Reading by McDonald, Scott A., Shillcock, Richard C.

“…Skilled readers are able to derive meaning from a stream of visual input with remarkable efficiency. In this article, we present the first evidence that…”

Impaired artificial grammar learning in agrammatism by Christiansen, Morten H., Louise Kelly, M., Shillcock, Richard C., Greenfield, Katie

“…It is often assumed that language is supported by domain-specific neural mechanisms, in part based on neuropsychological data from aphasia. If, however,…”

Low-level predictive inference in reading: the influence of transitional probabilities on eye movements by McDonald, Scott A., Shillcock, Richard C.

“…We report the results of an investigation into the ability of transitional probability (word-to-word contingency statistics) to account for reading behaviour…”

A binocular moving window technique to study the roles of the two eyes in reading by Nuthmann, Antje, Beveridge, Madeleine E. L., Shillcock, Richard C.

“…Readers utilize parafoveal information about upcoming words and read less well when this information is denied. McConkie and Rayner (1975) enabled this issue…”

An Anatomically Constrained, Stochastic Model of Eye Movement Control in Reading by McDonald, Scott A, Carpenter, R. H. S, Shillcock, Richard C

“…This article presents SERIF, a new model of eye movement control in reading that integrates an established stochastic model of saccade latencies (LATER; R. H…”

Patients with hemianopic alexia adopt an inefficient eye movement strategy when reading text by McDonald, Scott A., Spitsyna, Galina, Shillcock, Richard C., Wise, Richard J. S., Leff, Alexander P.

“…Patients with an acquired homonymous hemianopia often adapt over a period of a few months to compensate for some of the impairments caused by their visual…”

Toward an Appropriate Baseline for Measures of Eye Movement Behavior During Reading by McDonald, Scott A, Shillcock, Richard C

“…In empirical studies of human eye movement behavior during reading, it is common to compute various summary measures from the data, but these measures are…”

Hemispheric division of labour in reading by Shillcock, Richard C., McDonald, Scott A.

“…We argue that the reading of words and text is fundamentally conditioned by the splitting of the fovea and the hemispheric division of the brain, and,…”

Dyslexicsʼ eye fixations may accommodate to hemispheric desynchronization by Louise Kelly, M, Jones, Manon W, McDonald, Scott A, Shillcock, Richard C

“…We argue that the vertical division of the fovea and the hemispheric division of the brain condition reading, and that hemispheric desynchronization is a…”

Processing of palindromes in neglect dyslexia by Shillcock, Richard C, Kelly, M Louise, Monaghan, Padraic

The potential contribution of preplanned refixations to the preferred viewing location by McDonald, Scott A, Shillcock, Richard C

“…On the basis of recent evidence for the preplanning of refixation saccades in reading-like tasks (e.g., Beauvillain, Vergilino, & Dukic, 2000), we proposed…”
