ReadingLab is a research lab at the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University.

Mission and Research 

Our mission is to understand how people read, how children learn to read, and ultimately how to help every person to be a proficient reader. Some of the on-going projects include:

• Eye movements in reading English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
• Using eye movements as indicators of dysfluencies and comprehension difficulties
• Eye movements of young readers and their development
• Pre-reading children's understanding of the alphabet and the alphabetic principle
• Beginning readers' creative spelling and its cognitive and linguistic basis
• Phonological awareness and its development across languages
• Children's understanding of intentionality in reading and nonreading situations
