Tests and Applications of a Peripheral Interference Theory of Reading
Reading ability is essential in modern society. Yet, for many people it comes with considerable difficulty; and to cognition scientists it remains rather mysterious. Here I outline a plan for testing and applying a novel cognitive theory of reading. The plan expands my recent model, PONG (Snell, 2024, Psych Rev), with a groundbreaking perspective on visuo-spatial attention to capture many reading behaviours (WP1). The exciting prospect is that PONG in a single stroke informs three big debates: parallel processing (WP2), position-coding (WP3) and peripheral interference (WP4). In WP2, a novel combination of eye-tracking and EEG, Gaze-Contingent Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (GC-RIFT),…
