Resumen:
In the present work we analyzed the pupil size behavior of forty subjects while they readwell dened sentences with dierent contextual predictability (i.e., regular sentences andproverbs). In general, pupil size increased when reading regular sentences, but when read-ers realized that they were reading proverbs their pupils strongly increase until nishingproverbs´ reading. Our results suggest that an increased pupil size is not limited to cognitiveload (i.e., relative diculty in processing) because when participants accurately recognizedwords during reading proverbs, theirs pupil size increased too. Our results show that pupilsize dynamics may be a reliable measure to investigate the cognitive processes involved insentence processing and memory functioning.
