Abstract: The disappearing text paradigm was used to investigate how early in a fixation the old adults are able to obtain sufficient information from the text to read when disappearing unit is a word.Compared with the control condition,the differences were significant when words disappeared after 40 ms,60 ms,80 ms,100 ms or 120 ms in experiment.1.The words disappeared after 120 ms,140 ms,160 ms,180 ms or 200 ms under the experimental condition in experiment 2. There was no significant difference between the condition in which the words disappeared after 200 ms and the control condition.The conclusion was that for the aged,when they processed disappearing text most of the visual information necessary for reading could be acquired within the initial 200 ms during a fixation in Chinese reading.

Key words: disappearing text, eye movements, aged readers, information retrieval
