Meanings of anticipatory eye in English

However, the impact of speech rate on anticipatory eye movements has received little empirical attention.

At the fastest speech rate, all groups showed a marked decrease in anticipatory eye movements.

Results showed that all groups made anticipatory eye movements.

From a theoretical perspective, we examined two groups thought to show fewer anticipatory eye movements, and thus likely to be more impacted by speech rate.

Experiment 1 compared anticipatory eye movements across the lifespan with younger (18-24 years old) and older adults (40-75 years old).

This work highlights (1) the importance of speech rate on anticipatory eye movements, and (2) group-level performance differences in filler-gap prediction.
