| Abstract: | In this paper we explored text production differences in an expository text production task between writers who looked mainly
at the keyboard and writers who looked mainly at the monitor. Eye-tracking technology and keystroke-logging were combined
to systematically describe and define these two groups in respect of the complex interplay between text production and the
reading of one’s own emerging text. Findings showed that monitor gazers typed significantly faster and were more productive
writers. They also read their own text more, and they frequently read in parallel with writing. Analysis of fixation durations
suggests that more cognitive processing is in use during reading in parallel with writing than during reading in pauses. Keyboard
gazers used the left and right cursor keys significantly more. We suggest that this is because they revised their texts in
a much more serial mode than monitor gazers. Finally, analysis of the characteristics of the final texts showed no differences
between the groups. |
