Significant developments made in measuring various language processes: An example Edmund Huey(1968)examined reading from the perspective of human perceptual abilities He employed the following two techniques oice span(限音距): the lag between eye position and voice when reading aloud, about six or seven words. <ear-tongue span/ear-voice span s Tachistoscope(速示器): a machine that presents visual stimuli for very brief periods of time
