Chuanli Zang
Chuanli works in School of Psychology at the University of Central Lancashire with Professor Liversedge on the ESRC MCU project. She is interested in eye movements during reading, and in particular, how readers foveally and parafoveally process words and Multi-Constituent Units during natural Chinese reading. Her interests include word segmentation, saccadic targeting and parafoveal processing in reading. Recently she has developed an interest in the use of co-registration methodology (i.e., eye movements and Fixation-Related Potentials) to investigate the processes that underlie reading.
