PSYCHONOMIC SOCIETY 66TH ANNUAL MEETING

This year’s Psychonomics meeting was held in Denver, Colorado and our lab members had the opportunity to present their research!

Nadija presented her poster titled “Are You Positive You Read That Right?”

Milca and Snezana presented their poster titled “Backtrack and repair: Eye-brain dynamics in response to orthographic mismatches”

On Friday, Dr. Schotter gave a talk titled “Identifying the Sources of Reading Efficiency”.

Samantha presented her poster titled “Proofreading for Strong Orthographic Violations Reduces Predictability Effects”.

Sara presented her poster titled “Disruption to trans-saccadic integration engages the same late positive component (LPC) activity as sentence-level expctation violations”

Brandon presented his poster titled “The EyeSort Toolbox for fixation relate devent coding and categorization in EEG-EM coregistered data”

Florida Psycholinguistics Meeting 2025

This weekend, our lab attended the Florida Psycholinguistics Meeting 2025 at Florida State University! Abigail Spear and Samantha Schwarz presented their own research posters, while Milca Jaime Brunet and Snezana Trendova teamed up for a shared one. It was great to share our work, get feedback, and connect with others in the field. We came away with new ideas, exciting discussions, and of course—some great photos. Stay tuned for more updates from our lab!

Visit from Collaborators Pt. II

Some of our collaborators came to visit and work on projects relating to our NSF Grant (Collaborative Research: Linking saccadic behavior to cognitive-linguistic processing in goal-directed reading via coupled analysis of eye movements and EEG). Brennan Payne, Allyson Copeland and Jack Silcox from University of Utah made the trip and we had a great time planning and enjoying Tampa!

Visit from Collaborators

Some of our collaborators came to visit and work on projects relating to our NSF Grant (Collaborative Research: The role of perceptual and word identification spans in reading efficiency: Evidence from deaf and hearing adults). Karen Emmorey and Emily Saunders from SDSU and Frances Cooley from RIT made the trip and we had a great time collaborating and hanging out with them!

Psychonomics 64th Annual Meeting

This year’s Psychonomics meeting was held in San Francisco, California, and a few of our lab members presented their research.

On Friday, Frances gave a talk titled “Rethinking Deafness, Reading, and Bilingualism: Evidence from Eye-Tracking”
On Saturday, Abby presented her poster titled “To Boldly Go Where No Text Has Gone Before: The Effects of Boldface Letters on Eye Movements in Reading”
On Saturday, Casey presented her poster titled “Deaf Readers Use Leftward Information to Read More Efficiently: Evidence from Eye Tracking”
And they met up with some of our collaborators from SDSU and made some new friends!

Casey Stringer’s Honors Thesis Accepted for Publication!

Congratulations to Casey, Liz, Frances, and our collaborators Karen Emmorey and Emily Saunders on getting Casey’s honors thesis, titled “Deaf Readers Use Leftward Information to Read More Efficiently: Evidence from Eye Tracking” accepted for publication at The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. Great work!

Sara Milligan’s Master’s Thesis Accepted for Publication!

Congratulations to Sara and Liz on getting Sara’s master’s thesis, titled “Do Readers Here What They Sea?: Investigating Factors that Affect the Phonological Preview Benefit in Reading” accepted for publication in the special issue “Eye Movements in Reading at 50: Models, Methods, and Findings” at the Journal of Memory and Language. Great work!
