Abstract
Eye movements were recorded during vertical reading of Japanese text. Saccade length and fixation duration were recorded as a function of moving window size, which varied in length from 1 to 12 characters vertically. Saccade length increased, and fixation duration decreased, as a function of increasing window size. Effective visual field size necessary for vertical reading was found to be approximately 5-6 character spaces in the vertical direction. This span of reading appears to be close to the size during horizontal reading of Japanese text.
