An eyetracking-during-reading experiment examined processing of sentences
with transposed words (cf. Mirault et al., 2018). Comparing trials where
participants correctly rejected a transposed sentence, incorrectly accepted
a transposed sentence, and correctly accepted a grammatical sentence, we
did not find evidence of difficulty when readers did not explicitly notice
a transposition. Directly fixating both words reduced, but did not
eliminate, the tendency to overlook a transposition. The former result
argues against post-perceptual rational inference (Gibson et al., 2013) as
the primary source of this illusion. We discuss implications for reading
models that assume parallel (OB1-reader) or serial (E-Z reader) lexical
processing.
