Congratulations to Alex on receiving the Psi Chi Undergraduate Research Grant (Fall 2019 round) to fund his honors thesis project! His project investigates how visual clarity and sentence constraint influence readers’ reliance on top-down and bottom-up processing. He is using a combination of RSVP and an eccentricity manipulation of a target word, and asking participants what a letter in the last word of sentence is to probe whether people are more influenced by visual input (bottom-up processing) or inferences based on sentence context (top-down processing).
