ABSTRACT
Our concern with the recording of eye movements during reading is based in part on the premise that such data can be used to make inferences about information processing strategies utilized during reading for specific purposes. Whereas a plethora of techniques for recording eye movements are available to the investigator, the techniques for data reduction are considerably less plentiful. Though many manufacturers of eye tracking equipment make claims for the ready translation of their signals into computer processable format, few if any offer more than pious platitudes when it comes to reducing the mountains of digitized data that are so readily collected.
