Abstract
Words are everywhere in our lives. One of the first skills we learn when we go to school is reading. Reading not only allows us to experience stories, but also helps us record information and learn new things. Despite the importance of reading, few people think about how we actually read. When we read, our eyes move constantly. For example, when reading this sentence, our eyes move from one word to the next until we finish the sentence. During this process, our brain is also working hard to recognize and understand each word. This article will explore the importance of eye movement in reading, introduce how scientists measure and study eye movement, and reveal how our eye movement patterns change as we age.
