On the one hand, the assignment of processing time to skipped words will increase the number of observations that can be used for the computation of target viewing durations. The advantage may be offset, however, by methodological shortcomings. Assignment of a zero processing duration to a target word (target Oculomotor measures 39 region) is likely to underestimate the demands of the target's linguistic analyses. Using the duration of a pre- or post-target fixation is also problematic, as it is likely to confound the target's linguistic analyses with the linguistic analysis of either preor post-target words.
The main goal of this chapter is to provide a review of likely methodological choice points that need to be considered when oculomotor data are collected. The chapter is not concerned with questions related to the hard- and software setup, nor with the assessing of the accuracy and reliability of the eye tracker output (see McConkie, 1981, for an excellent review). Instead, our considerations focus on issues that are encountered 'down-stream' when raw data are used to define basic oculomotor events, such as fixations and saccades, and when oculomotor data are used to index perceptual and cognitive processes.
