Readers' eye movements were monitored when they read either normal sentences or sentences with masked or disappearing text (in which the fixated word disappeared or was masked after 60 ms). The goals of the research were to investigate (1) whether a gap effect occurred in reading and (2) the influence of linguistic and visual factors on oculomotor control. The results of a number of global analyses of eye movements under disappearing text conditions clearly demonstrated that there is no gap effect in reading. However, comparative analyses across a number of local measures in the experiments indicated that cognitive/lexical processes, as well as the continual uptake of visual information, influence eye movement control during reading. A persistent visual object throughout fixation caused refixations and even when a fixated word had disappeared (or been masked), there were significant effects of word frequency and word length.
当读者阅读正常句子或带有屏蔽或消失文本的句子（其中注视的单词在60毫秒后消失或被屏蔽）时，他们的眼动会受到监测。该研究的目的是调查：（1）阅读中是否会出现间隙效应；（2）语言和视觉因素对眼动控制的影响。在消失文本条件下对眼动进行的多项全局分析结果清楚地表明，阅读中不存在间隙效应。然而，实验中对多项局部测量进行的比较分析表明，认知/词汇过程以及视觉信息的持续摄取会影响阅读过程中的眼动控制。整个注视过程中持续存在的视觉对象会导致再次注视，并且即使注视的单词已经消失（或被屏蔽），单词频率和单词长度仍会产生显著影响。
