title: Word skipping: Implications for theories of eye movement control in reading
creator: Brysbaert, Dr. Marc

subject: Cognitive Psychology
description: This chapter provides a meta-analysis of the factors that govern word skipping in reading. It is concluded that the primary predictor is the length of the word to be skipped. A much smaller effect is due to the processing ease of the word (e.g., the frequency of the word and its predictability in the sentence).
