The distinguished contributors to this volume have been set the
problem of describing how we know where to move our eyes. There is
a great deal of current interest in the use of eye movement
recordings to investigate various mental processes. The common
theme is that variations in eye movements indicate variations in
the processing of what is being perceived, whether in reading,
driving or scene perception. However, a number of problems of
interpretation are now emerging, and this edited volume sets out to
address these problems. The book investigates controversies
concerning the variations in eye movements associated with reading
ability, concerning the extent to which text is used by the
guidance mechanism while reading, concerning the relationship
between eye movements and the control of other body movements, the
relationship between what is inspected and what is perceived, and
concerning the role of visual control attention in the acquisition
of complex perceptual-motor skills, in addition to the nature of
the guidance mechanism itself.
The origins of the volume are in discussions held at a meeting of
the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCOP) that was held
in Wurzburg in September 1996. The discussions concerned the
landing effect in reading, an effect, that if substantiated, would
provide evidence of the use of parafoveal information in eye
guidance, and these discussions were explored in more detail at a
small meeting in Chamonix, in February 1997. Many of the
contributors to this volume were present at the meeting, but the
arguments were not resolved in Chamonix either. Other leaders in
the field were invited to contribute to the discussion, and this
volume is the product. The argument remains unresolved, but the
problem is certainly clearer.
