I've removed
==Peripheral input and integration across fixations== ==Refixation== ==The eye–voice/eye–hand span==
because they were empty. If someone was inprogress with them I appologize and suggest adding them back in as you have content ready. -- SB 03:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I thought this article was about how the eyes move while reading printed language. I see only history and methods of measuring eye movements. -- Kvuo 04:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Now, are you going to revert the change, or do I have to bother learning how to do so? Tony (talk) 03:39, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
No need to get snippy with eachother here (and no need to bring this to IRC really either...). BRD applies - revert the change, and discuss it. Making the change without including a proposal isn't a serious problem when the talk page and article editing histories show a long period of mostly inactivity. Avruch 01:49, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
This discussion has been centralise under Talk:Eye movement (sensory)#Changes of page names -- Philip Baird Shearer ( talk) 09:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
This is a very good article; very interesting. However, it needs more citations, and a little information from reliable sources. I have decided to work on this article to help bring it to a good article standard. I will add articles or references to support some information provided in this article. I don't think the beginning sentence is necessary, so I will add a sentence describing 'eye movements.' I will also add a little information to the introduction, including citations. The sub-heading, "Cognitive psychology, infrared tracking and computer technology" needs a little improvement, so I will add more information and citation.

What about languages like Arabic (right to left) or various Chinese languages (top to bottom)? And is there a difference when the language is written pictographically (again, Chinese languages) as opposed to phonetically? It would be good to see this explicitly addressed in the article. If the findings are the same it should be stated, and if they are different these differences need to be discussed. Lemurbaby ( talk) 04:34, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
I've changed headings to remove the Cognitive Psychology etc information from under the History heading.

I first learned of the word " saccade" in this interesting article about word recognition. It seems like some of the material might be useful in the wiki article. -- SpareSimian ( talk) 14:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
The article states, "Leonardo da Vinci, (1452-1519) was the first in Europe to recognize the special optical qualities of the eye." Of course that is speculation; there is no way to know who was first, and "special optical qualities" is vague. You would have to know the mind of every European who ever lived, from antiquity with the Neanderthals to da Vinci, to make such a statement. ( EnochBethany ( talk) 14:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC))
It is not grammatical to pluralise "movementS" in this context. Someone moved the page: who??? Tony (talk) 07:39, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Xoloz ( talk) 01:32, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

This used to be the title; someone has come along and added the "s", which shifts the meaning to individual movementS. Which ones? Saccades? Micro-saccades? Fixations are clearly excluded, are they, since they don't represent movement as such, but momentary stasis. But fixations are included, of course, in the treatment.
Eye movement is the generic term to refer to the umbrella phenomenon, not individual movementS.
Some usage in the literature is pluralised, but carelessly, and against much usage that is not.
Compare: Eye movement, Eye movement in music reading, Rapid eye movement, etc.

"There are 4 major cognitive systems involved in eye movement in reading: Language processing, attention, vision, and oculomotor control."
This assumes that the reader isn't "speaking" the text aloud. In that case, the musculoskeletal control system is also involved. Perhaps:
"Four major cognitive systems are involved in eye movement in silent reading: language processing, attention, vision, and oculomotor control."
I'm a little suspicious of "attention". Very little work has been done on this: a notable piece was by 2003 Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman, but back in the early 80s, I think. Then he dropped it. Tony (talk) 02:40, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
I am moving all the dyslexia relevant lines to the dyslexia subheading. it's frankly messy. there have been attempts to define dyslexia as a single disease with many research papers describing it as such and the same authors alternating between definitions of simply the inability to read to a distinct disorder with those same authors claiming to be dyslexic in almost the same breath. In truth there are many reasons why someone might have difficulty reading or miss age related literacy milestones. I will leave one hyperlink to the main dyslexia article and keep relevant lines. there was at least one line with a citation needed tag from 6 years ago so that will go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.198.13.161 ( talk) 15:34, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
