Forthcoming in Psychonomic Bulletin and Review is a paper by Pierre Perruchet and Arnaud Rey, entitled “Does the mastery of center-embedded linguistic structures distinguish humans from nonhuman primates?” This is a response to a paper […]

This is indeed a clear case of copyright violation — the pconline.com.cn site not only translated the whole review article from DPReview, but claimed authorship.

HOW TCLKIT STARTS UP
The startup process for Tclkit is somewhat tricky. It needs to extract a script to initialize Tcl with, *before* Tcl´s VFS code can be used to “mount” the embedded datafile as a more or less normal filesystem. It also has to get the Unicode encoding logic right. And […]

Corrective saccades are faster (in the REDIRECT condition) than correct saccades (FOLLLOW condition) … hmm… but this makes sense because viewers knew that they had to plan two saccades in a row.
 
No distributions of saccade latencies.
 
What does this mean to reading?
