Effects of context and confidence criterion on the proportion of skipped words in the extended Mr. Chips model, evaluated when reading natural text (a) and artificial text generated according to the model’s knowledge of language (b). Confidence criteria are plotted on a logit-transformed ( ) scale, except the criterion of 100%, which is plotted as the rightmost value. The proportions of skipped words are plotted with 95% binomial confidence intervals.
