The fixed structure included the effects of word length (“LENGTH”; 4–8 letters), word frequency (“FREQ”; 0.20–5.93 log units), word predictability (“PRED”; between -2.60 and 2.60 logit units), and saccadic launch-site distance (“LAUNCH”; between -6.00 and -0.002 letters from the space in front of the test words), the three-way interactions between word frequency, word length and launch-site distance and between word predictability, word length and launch-site distance, as well as corresponding two-way interactions; the random structure included a random intercept by participant and by sentence pair, as well as by-participant random effects of word length and launch-site distance, but without the correlation between random effects (see S1 Table). The model's estimates and standard errors are expressed in logit units. The intercept estimate (logit: -1.19934) indicates that test words were skipped in about 23% of the cases, when all variables were at their reference, mean, value (Word Length: 5.82 letters; Launch Site: -2.93 letters; Word Frequency: 3.06 log units; Word Predictability: -0.96 logit units). Colon stands for interaction. See S3 Table for the corresponding minimalist optimal GLMM.
