Michael K. Tanenhaus is a researcher in psycholinguistics associated with the University of Rochester. Its directory identifies his interests in language and reading comprehension and his emeritus appointment in brain and cognitive sciences and linguistics.[ref]
With Michael Spivey, Kathleen M. Eberhard and Julie Sedivy, he developed experiments connecting eye tracking to interpretation of spoken instructions. Their 1995 study used real objects and a head-mounted tracker; varying the visible referents altered how a temporarily ambiguous instruction was interpreted.[ref] This visual world paradigm makes the time course of sentence comprehension experimentally accessible. A fixation is evidence about allocation of attention during a controlled task; it must be interpreted through the alternatives available to the participant.
