Table 3. Eye Movement Measures for the Reading of the Critical Four-Character Sequence and the Central Two-Character Sequence as a Function of Sequence Type in Experiment 2.

Measure	Character-to-Word Assignment
	Four-Character Sequence				Center Characters
	Ambiguous		Control		Ambiguous		Control
	M	SEM	M	SEM	M	SEM	M	SEM
Skipping rate	3	0.02	3	0.03	13	0.03	18	0.02
First-fixation duration	263	15	233	10	276	13	250	10
Gaze duration	493	15	424	28	335	14	291	9
Total viewing duration	635	49	504	30	422	26	315	11
Saccade size	3.0	0.14	2.8	0.16	2.7	0.14	2.7	0.12
Landing position	2.0	0.09	2.0	0.07	1.4	0.03	1.5	0.03

Note—Skipping rate is reported as a percentage value; first-fixation, gaze, and total viewing durations are measured in milliseconds; saccade size is measured in number of characters; and landing position denotes the initially fixated relative character location within a word.
