The interplay between cognitive and oculomotor processes during reading canbe explored when the spatial layout of text deviates from the typical display.In this study, we investigate various eye-movement measures during reading oftext with experimentally manipulated layout (word-wise and letter-wisemirrored-reversed text as well as inverted and scrambled text). While typicalfindings (e.g., longer mean fixation times, shorter mean saccades lengths) inreading manipulated texts compared to normal texts were reported in earlierwork, little is known about changes of oculomotor targeting observed inwithin-word landing positions under the above text layouts. Here we carry outprecise analyses of landing positions and find substantial changes in theso-called launch-site effect in addition to the expected overall slow-down ofreading performance. Specifically, during reading of our manipulated textconditions with reversed letter order (against overall reading direction), wefind a reduced launch-site effect, while in all other manipulated textconditions, we observe an increased launch-site effect. Our results clearlyindicate that the oculomotor system is highly adaptive when confronted withunusual reading conditions.
