Meeting Description:

Eye-tracking methodologies are increasingly informing language research. Βecause of its high temporal resolution, eye-tracking can be used to explore on-line language processing non-invasively. Language processing research has used reading, visual world and other paradigms. Furthermore, eye-tracking is increasingly being used for in-depth basic research as well as diagnostic purposes in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Education research has benefitted from eye-tracking for typical and atypical populations, and monolingual/bilingual populations.
A conference centered on eye-tracking and language processing will be organized by the Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics Lab, NKUA in 7 and 8 December 2023. The conference is being organized within the scope of the ‘Language and Executive Functions Intervention Strategies in Language Disorders’ research project (funded by Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation). The format of the conference will be hybrid, enabling both onsite and online participation. We invite the submission of abstracts for oral presentations and poster sessions around these topics:
- Eye-tracking and sentence processing
- Eye-tracking and bilingualism
- Eye-tracking and atypical populations
- Eye-tracking and language acquisition
- Eye-tracking and applications in education
- Eye-tracking and language production
- Eye-tracking for diagnostic purposes
