Abstract
An experiment is described in which the effect of changing information content of stimuli upon the eye-voice span in reading is investigated. Subjects were required to read aloud statistical approximations to English. It was found that the eye-voice span is inversely related to the information content of the material read. This would support the suggestion of a constant rate of information transmission in reading, since the different orders of statistical approximations differ in the amount of redundancy present in the material.
