a
Ideal Observer models do not attempt to mimic human reading
b
In POC (Primarily Oculomotor Control) models, most of the variation in eye fixation times is due to properties of the oculomotor system, and lexical variables only influence very long fixations. There is some variation across the models in terms of how early in a fixation lexical processing can affect the duration of the current fixation. In SERIF, perceptual processing of words has a more immediate effect on when they eyes move than in the Competition/Activation model or SHARE.
