Abbreviations in reading: How Bavarian Is a BMW?

Tim Slattery (Bournemouth University)

Miscommunication occurs frequently and is prevalent with abbreviations as they intentionally obscure meaning in order to reduce text. Informal textisms (e.g. thnks, frendz) can disrupt efficient reading. These abbreviations, however, are more similar to misspelt words than to formal abbreviations. Abbreviation use has been on the rise in formal written communication as well. While highly familiar abbreviations (e.g. BBC) may be treated as words (Brysbaert et al., 2009), it is not clear how novel abbreviations are understood during reading—despite their widespread use. I report the results of eye movement studies of reading that presented passages of text with novel abbreviations which were manipulated to have either higher or lower frequency base words (Extraordinary Science Awards Ceremony vs. Ecological Scholars Algae Convention). I will explore readers’ eye fixation behaviour when they read the abbreviation (ESAC) of these base words later in the text to understand how abbreviations are understood during reading, and whether some types of abbreviations are more efficient than others. Implications for the processing of multiword units will be discussed.

Bio

Tim Slattery earned his BSc in Psychology with honors from the University of Buffalo. After graduation, he worked in a residential treatment center for juvenile offenders in New York. This arduous work led him to the realization that he desired a career in scientific research. So, in 2001 he embarked on his PhD in Cognitive Psychology under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Pollatsek at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he also earned a minor in Quantitative Analysis. During his PhD studies, he also had the pleasure of completing a summer internship program at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View California where he worked under the supervision of Dr. Cynthia Null. After earning his PhD, he accepted a Post-Doc position at the University of California at San Diego with Keith Rayner in 2007, where he further honed his skills as an eye movement researcher. In 2011, he accepted a post as an Assistant Professor at the University of South Alabama establishing a new Psycholinguistics lab there and earning an early career research award from the Dean of Arts and Sciences. He joined the Psychology Department of Bournemouth University in August of 2015. His research focuses primarily on eye movements during reading (especially return-sweep saccades), and he is interested in advancing the field of psycholinguistics through the implementation and testing of computational models. He is particularly interested in the processing of abbreviations such as textisms and acronyms as they provide unique opportunities to explore the processing of orthographic, phonological, and semantic representations. Tim is a Psychonomic Society Member, Experimental Psychology Society Member and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Dr. Bernhard Angele (Bournemouth University, UK)
https://staffprofiles.bournemouth.ac.uk/display/bangele

Skilled readers are likely to skip short, high-frequency words such as “the” in English. When deciding to skip such words, readers fail to take into account the preceding sentence context and will frequently skip an upcoming word that looks like “the” even if it is incompatible with the context, i.e. infelicitous (Angele & Rayner, 2013). It is not clear if (1) this failure to identify a potential problem with a sentence stems from an inability to access the information about the sentence context at the point of making the skipping decision or (2) a problem in selecting the appropriate information in order to make the decision. The latter case resembles response inhibition tests where participants need to make a decision in the presence of incongruent stimuli. If skipping and response inhibition depend on the same cognitive processes, we should find a relationship between a participant’s performance on response inhibition tests and the rate at which they skip words with an infelicitous gaze-contingent preview. We report an experiment testing this hypothesis in which there was no evidence for a relationship between the congruency effect in response inhibition tests and the rate of skipping infelicitous previews in a sentence reading task.

Bio
Dr. Bernhard Angele obtained his MA degree (in 2009) and a PhD degree on parafoveal processing in reading (in 2013) from the University of California San Diego. His research interests primarily focus on eye movements during skilled adult reading and language processing. Specifically, he has been studying the effect of parafoveal preview on processing and reading performance. In his research, he uses eye-tracking to study how readers process words and sentences, and how attention is allocated in this process. His current research focuses on a few topics: computational modeling, saccade targeting during reading, auditory distraction, and parafoveal processing. He is also interested in statistical inference in psychology, evidence synthesis, and the philosophy of probability.
