| Abstract | A critical prediction of the E-Z Reader model is
that experimental manipulations that disrupt early encoding
of visual and orthographic features of the fixated
word without affecting subsequent lexical processing
should influence the processing difficulty of the fixated
word without affecting the processing of the next word.We
tested this prediction by monitoring participants’ eye
movements while they read sentences in which a target
word was presented either normally or altered. In the
critical condition, the contrast between the target word
and the background was substantially reduced. Such a
reduction in stimulus quality is typically assumed to have
an impact that is largely confined to a very early stage of
word recognition. Results were consistent with the E-Z
Reader model: This faint presentation had a robust influence
on the duration of fixations on the target word
without substantially altering the processing of the next
word.
