Rethinking task importance in the visual world paradigm
Brain ResearchAlthough the term Visual World Paradigm (henceforth VWP) is used to refer to the broad class of studies in which participants eye movements are measured as they listen to language, that is about a circumscribed visual display (henceforth the visual world), there are, in fact, two broadly used variants of the paradigm.

Impulse Processing: A Dynamical Systems Model of Incremental Eye Movements in the Visual World Paradigm [PDF]
Cognitive Science, 2011 The Visual World Paradigm (VWP) presents listeners with a challenging problem: They must integrate two disparate signals, the spoken language and the visual context, in support of action (e.g., complex movements of the eyes across a scene). We present Impulse Processing, a dynamical systems approach to incremental eye movements in the visual world that

Causal connectives as indicators of source information: Evidence from the visual world paradigm
Acta Psychologica, 2019 Causal relations can be presented as subjective, involving someone's reasoning, or objective, depicting a real-world cause-consequence relation. Subjective relations require longer processing times than objective relations. We hypothesize that the extra time is due to the involvement of a Subject of Consciousness (SoC) in the mental representation of ...

Lexical processing depends on sublexical processing: Evidence from the visual world paradigm and aphasia. [PDF]
Atten Percept Psychophys, 2019 Some early studies of people with aphasia reported strikingly better performance on lexical than on sublexical speech perception tasks. These findings challenged the claim that lexical processing depends on sublexical processing and suggested that acoustic information could be mapped directly to lexical representations.

Using the Visual World Paradigm to Study Retrieval Interference in Spoken Language Comprehension. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 The cue-based retrieval theory (Lewis et al., 2006) predicts that interference from similar distractors should create difficulty for argument integration, however this hypothesis has only been examined in the written modality. The current study uses the Visual World Paradigm (VWP) to assess its feasibility to study retrieval interference arising from ...

Tracking Eye Movements as a Window on Language Processing: The Visual World Paradigm
Encyclopedia, 2023 This entry overviews the pioneering experimental studies exploiting eye movement data to investigate language processing in real time. After examining how vision and language were found to be closely related, herein focus the discussion on the evolution ...

Prediction in the processing of repair disfluencies: Evidence from the visual-world paradigm. [PDF]
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn, 2016 Two visual-world eye-tracking experiments investigated the role of prediction in the processing of repair disfluencies (e.g., "The chef reached for some salt uh I mean some ketchup . . ."). Experiment 1 showed that listeners were more likely to fixate a critical distractor item (e.g., pepper) during the processing of repair disfluencies compared with ...

The role of production expectations in visual world paradigm linking hypotheses. [PDF]
, 2022 While widely used in psycholinguistics, the linking hypothesis for eye movements in the visual world paradigm is still poorly understood. Recent work on linking hypotheses for referential tasks in particular has found mixed support for the 'Referential Belief Link': that the proportion of looks to a referent in a time window reflects participants ...

Using the visual world paradigm to study language processing: A review and critical evaluation [PDF]
Acta Psychologica, 2011 We describe the key features of the visual world paradigm and review the main research areas where it has been used. In our discussion we highlight that the paradigm provides information about the way language users integrate linguistic information with information derived from the visual environment.
