Table 1.
Probabilities in Experiment 1 of fixating on, or launching saccades towards, the spatial regions occupied by the table or by the glass, calculated at the onset of the postverbal region (fixation analysis), during the postverbal region (saccadic analysis), during the sentence-final noun phrase (saccadic analysis), and at the offset of that noun phrase (fixation analysis). Numbers in parentheses indicate absolute number of trials on which a fixation on, or saccade to, each region was observed. For the saccadic analyses, the probabilities can sum to more than one because the eyes could saccade to more than one region in the available time. Equally, they can sum to less than one if no saccade was made during the interval of interest. Where the fixation probabilities sum to less than one, trials were lost through blinks, looks beyond the screen, or other failures to track the eye.
