It  is  predicated  on  a single  idea: to improve your writing, learn howreaders  go  about their reading.  Over the past two decades, Dr. Gopen and his  associates  have discovered that readers tend […]

This is the output from the previous code, which includes analyses of landing position of progressive fixations, refixations, and regressions. See previous code for details.
Overall, there is a clear pattern of launch site-landing position effects for forward eye movements.
At all ages, refixations follow the typical McConkie et al. (1989) V-shaped pattern. […]

Tags: No need to use first_fixation in the landing position anaysis, as that will automatically eliminate refixations and most regressions. The overall distribution is not affected much by the additional non-first-fixations.
