"abstract": "We present an overview of recent work in which eye movements are monitored as people follow spoken instructions to move objects or pictures in a visual workspace. Subjects naturally make saccadic eye-movements to objects that are closely time-locked to relevant information in the instruction. Thus the eye-movements provide a window into the rapid mental processes that underlie spoken language comprehension. We review studies of reference resolution, word recognition, and pragmatic effects on syntactic ambiguity resolution. Our studies show that people seek to establish reference with respect to their behavioral goals during the earliest moments of linguistic processing. Moreover, referentially relevant non-linguistic information immediately affects how the linguistic input is initially structured.",

"text": "Many important questions about language comprehension can only be answered by examining processes that are closely time-locked to the linguistic input. These processes take place quite rapidly and they are largely opaque to introspection. As a consequence, psycholinguists have increasingly turned to experimental methods designed to tap real-time language processing. These include a variety of reading time measures as well as paradigms in which subjects monitor the incoming speech for targets or respond to visually presented probes. The hope is that these \"online\" measures can provide information that can be used to inform and evaluate explicit computational models of language processing.",

"text": "Recently, we have been exploring a new paradigm for studying spoken language comprehension. Participants in our experiments follow spoken instructions to touch or manipulate objects in a visual workspace while we monitor their eye-movements using a lightweight camera mounted on a headband. The camera, manufactured by Applied Scientific Laboratories, provides an infrared image of the eye at 60Hz. The center of the pupil and the corneal reflection are tracked to determine the orbit of the eye relative to file head. Accuracy is better than one degree of arc, with virtually unrestricted head and body movements [Ballard, Hayhoe, and Pelz, 1995] . Instructions are spoken into a microphone connected to a Hi-8 VCR. The VCR also records the participant's field of view from a \"scene\" camera mounted on the headband. The participant's gaze fixation is superimposed on the video image We analyze each frame of the instructions to determine the location and timing of eye movements with respect to critical words in the instruction.",

"text": "In order to investigate the time course with which people establish reference we use different displays to manipulate where in an instruction the referent of a definite noun phrase becomes unique. The timing and patterns of the eyemovements clearly show that people establish reference incrementally by continuously evaluating the information in the instruction against the alternatives in the visual workspace. For example, in one experiment , participants were told to touch one of four blocks. The blocks varied along three dimensions: marking (plain or starred), color (pink, yellow, blue and red) and shape (square or rectangle). The instructions referred to the block using a definite noun phrase with adjectives (e.g., \"Touch the starred yellow square.\"). The display determined which word in the noun phrase disambiguated the target block with respect to the visual alternatives For example, the earliest point of disambiguation would be after \"starred\" if only one of the blocks was starred, after \"yellow\" if only one of the starred blocks was yellow, and after \"square\" if there were two starred yellow blocks, only one of which was a square (Instructions with definite noun phrases always had a unique referen0.",

Thus, if people use contrastive stress to compute a contrast set on-line, then they should have sufficient information to determine the target object after hearing the size adjective Thus eyemovements to the target object should be faster with contrastive stress.

The paddle was the target object for the trial shown in Figure 3 .

Early on in the speech stream, the eye is on the fixation cross, where subjects are told to look at the beginning of the trial. The probability of a fixation to the target word and the cohort competitor then increases. As the target word unfolds, the probability that the eye is fixated on the target increases compared to the cohort competitor.

The strongest evidence for encapsulated processing modules has come from studies using sentences with brief syntactic \"attachment\" ambiguities in which readers have clear preferences for interpretations, associated with particular syntactic configurations. For example, in the. instruction \"put the apple on the towel...,\" people prefer to attach the prepositional phrase \"on the towel\" to the verb \"put\", rather than the noun phrase \"the apple\", thus interpreting it as the argument of the verb (encoding the thematic relation of Goal), rather than as a modifier of the noun.",

Encapsulated models account for this preference in terms of principles such as pursue the simplest attachment first, or initially attach a phrase as an argument rather than as an adjunct. In contrast, constraint-based models attribute these preferences to the strength of multiple interacting constraints, including those provided by discourse context. [For a recent review, see Tanenhaus and Trueswell, 1995] An influential proposal, most closely associated with Crain and Steedman [1985] , is that pragmatically driven expectations about reference are an important source of discourse constraint. For example, a listener hearing \"put the apple...\" might reasonably assume that there is a single apple and thus expect to be told where to put the apple (the verb-phrase attachment). However, in a context in which there was more than one apple, the listener might expect to be told which of the apples is the intended referent and thus prefer the noun phrase attachment.",

In particular, strong syntactic preferences persist momentarily, even when the referential context introduced by the discourse supports the normally less-preferred attachment.

"text": "In sentence (la), the first prepositional phrase \"on the towel\", is ambiguous as to whether it modifies the noun phrase (\"the apple\") thus specifying the location of the object to be picked up, or whether it modifies the verb, thus introducing the goal location. In example (lb) the word \"that's\" disambiguates the phrase as a modifier, serving as an unambiguous control condition. These instructions were paired with three types of display contexts. Each context contained four sets of real objects placed on a horizontal board. Sample displays for the instructions presented in (1) are illustrated in Figures 5, 6 , and 7 Three of file objects were the same across all of the displays. Each display contained the target object (an apple on a towel) the correct goal, (a box) and an incorrect goal (another towel). In the one referent display (Figure 4 ) there was only one possible referent for the definite noun phrase \"the apple\", the apple on the towel. Upon hearing the phrase \"the apple\", participants can immediately identify the object to be moved because there is only one apple and thus they are likely to assume that \"on the towel\" is specifying the goal. In the two-referent display ( Figure 5 ), there was a second possible referent (an apple on a napkin). Thus, \"the apple\", could refer to either of the two apples and the phrase \"on the towel\" provides modifying information that specifies which apple is the correct referent. Under these conditions a listener seeking to establish reference should interpret the prepositional phrase \"on the towel\" as providing disambiguating information about the location of the apple. In the three and one display, we added an apple cluster. The uniqueness presupposition associated with the definite noun phrase should bias the listener to assume that the single apple (the apple on the towel) is the intended referent for the theme argument. However, it is more felicitous to use a modifier with this instruction. This display was used to test if even a relatively subtle pragmatic effects will influence syntactic processing Strikingly different fixation patterns among the visual contexts revealed that the ambiguous phrase \"on the towel\" was initially interpreted as the goal in the one-referent context but as a modifier in the two-referent contexts and the three-and-one contexts [for details see Spivey-Knowlton et al, 1995; In the one-referent context, subjects looked at the incorrect goal (e.g., the irrelevant towel) on 55% of the trials shortly after hearing the ambiguous prepositional phrase, whereas they never looked at the incorrect goal with the unambiguous instruction.
