Seth Greenberg, Gilbert Livingston Professor of
Psychology, has received a National Science Foundation
Research Opportunity Award of $44,000 for his work on “Eye
movement patterns during the reading of highly familiar texts.” The work
is in coordination with a grant held by Albrecht Inhoff of
SUNY-Binghamton. The goal of the project is to study how
readers' eye movement patterns change when they read familiar
as compared with unfamiliar materials. Presumably, changes
in eye movements reflect changes in processing and
processing strategies of readers.
