- Analisando os comportamentos oculares durante a leituraPublication . Luegi, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Faria, Isabel HubRetomaremos o trabalho de Luegi (2006) para descrever e comentar a técnica de registo dos comportamentos oculares (eye-tracking) como uma das várias metodologias que permitem estudar os mecanismos cognitivos envolvidos no processamento da linguagem. Neste artigo, descrevemos as principais características dos comportamentos oculares durante a leitura e referimos, quer com base na literatura consultada quer, também, na nossa experiência, as vantagens e desvantagens desta metodologia.
- Complexidade linguística e processamento referencialPublication . Costa, Armanda; Luegi, Paula
- Eye movements during readingPublication . Luegi, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Faria, Isabel Hub
- Leitura em voz alta, movimentos oculares e prosódia: integração de informação sintática e discursivaPublication . Falé, Isabel; Costa, Armanda; Luegi, PaulaThis study aims to connect data from ocular movements and reading aloud to the syntactic and discursive properties of texts, in order to understand integrative cognitive processes during reading for understanding. Assuming that in reading aloud there is a close interaction between syntax structure and speech prosody, we collected eyetracking and speech production data from 17 female EP speakers during the reading of two texts. Eye movements and reading speech produced simultaneously were analyzed and our results show that the eyes and the voice are both responsive to text complexity and to syntactic and discursive selected loci, as key points of information integration.
- Mover para ler: o movimento dos olhos durante a leitura de textosPublication . Luegi, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Faria, Isabel Hub
- Parâmetros para análise de narrativas orais em crianças com e sem perturbação da linguagem expressivaPublication . Monteiro, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Batista, AdrianaAnalysis of children’s productions of oral narratives is a highly effective research tool that allows examiners to document children’s productive vocabulary and grammar (using microstructural analyses) as well as children’s text level narrative organization skills (using macrostructural analyses). In this study we used the Narrative Scoring Scheme and the Speech Rate and Fluency in Children and Adolescents to analyse the productions of oral narratives of children with and without language disorders. The results showed language developmental effects. Children with language disorders have difficulties in the use of macro and microstructural features and lower speech fluency score.
- Processamento de relações anafóricas com sujeitos omitidos em Português EuropeuPublication . Costa, Armanda; Matos, Gabriela; Luegi, PaulaThe current study deals with referential chains’ processing in finite clauses in European Portuguese, involving different types of subject gaps: pro, wh-variable and NPcopy. Since conditions of economy guide syntactic processing, we raised the hypothesis that the less referential is the content of the null element and the more minimal is the distance between the antecedent and the gap, the lower are the costs of the cognitive processing. We conducted an eye-tracking reading experiment and we measured the reading time per character. The results obtained show that the online processing of coreferential pro was costlier than the processing of wh-variable and NP-copy.
- Processamento e interpretação de sujeitos nulos e plenos em Português Europeu e em Português do BrasilPublication . Luegi, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Maia, MarcusNeste estudo, analisámos o processamento e a interpretação de sujeitos nulos e plenos em PE e em PB na retoma de antecedentes que ocupam diferentes posi- ções estruturais. Resultados: função sintática e posição estrutural influenciam a resolução da correferência em PE; em PB, o nulo é mais facilmente interpretado como correferente com o Sujeito ou com o antecedente mais próximo que o c-comanda
- Reading aloud: eye movements and prosodyPublication . Falé, Isabel; Costa, Armanda; Luegi, PaulaThis study aims to connect data from ocular movements and reading aloud speech to syntactic and discursive properties of texts, in order to understand integrative cognitive processes during reading for understanding. Assuming that in reading aloud there is a close interaction between syntax structure and speech prosody, we collected eye-tracking and reading speech data from 17 females native EP speakers. Eye movements and reading speech produced simultaneously were analyzed and our results are quite clear showing that eyes and voice are both responsive to text complexity and to syntactic and discursive critical loci, as key points of information integration.
- Using eye-tracking to detect reading difficultiesPublication . Luegi, Paula; Costa, Armanda; Faria, Isabel HubTaking into account the study of Luegi (2006), where eye movements of 20 Portuguese university students while reading text passages were analyzed, in this article we discuss some methodological issues concerning eye tracking measures to evaluate reading difficulties. Relating syntactic complexity, grammaticality and ambiguity to eye movements, we will discuss the use of many different dependent variables that indicate the immediate and delayed processes in text processing. We propose a new measure that we called Progression-Path which permits analyzing, in the critical region, what happens when the reader proceeds on the sentence instead of going backwards to solve a problem that s/he found (which is the most common expected behavior but not the only one, as is illustrated by some of our examples).
