The disappearing text paradigm is informative about the length of time a word must be visible to a reader for text to be read normally (e.g.,Rayner et al.,2006).In the standard paradigm,as each word in a sentence is fixated,this word remains visible for only a short period of time (typically 40-80ms) before it disappears (or is masked),and is reinstated only when the reader fixates a new location.Studies in English show that reading is relatively normal even when words are visible for only 60ms.Moreover,readers do not simply move their eyes to fixate a new location once a word disappears but continue fixating the words location for about the same length of time as when text is shown normally.
