Eye-Tracking Data on Morphological Boundedness in L2 Reading

An eye-tracking experiment dataset investigating the role of morphological boundedness in second language acquisition. The data includes stimuli, cleaned results, and R analysis code from a study comparing bound versus unbound forms and their interaction with morpheme length and individual learner variables. The dataset was authored by Georgia Knell and last updated on 2026-04-21.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between morphological boundedness and attention based on eye-tracking fixation and skipping rates.
• Investigating the interaction between morpheme length and boundedness on processing depth.
• Studying the effects of learning conditions (incidental vs. intentional) on attention to morphological forms.
• Examining correlations between attention metrics and retrospective awareness reports.
• Modeling the influence of individual learner variables like L2 proficiency and working memory on salience effects.

Strengths

• Includes the complete set of experimental stimuli and cleaned data files.
• Provides the R code used for analysis in both .qmd and .pdf formats for reproducibility.
• Data originates from a controlled eye-tracking experiment designed to isolate specific salience properties.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset description does not specify file formats or data size.
