    "abstract": "The present study investigates the relation between the\nreading process and text comprehension during naturalistic\ntext reading. To that end, participants read easy and difficult\ntexts while their eye movements were recorded. After each\nreading, participants filled-in comprehension questionnaires.\nWe investigated classical measures of the reading process\nrelated to comprehension (fixation duration, regressive eye\nmovements), as well as power-law scaling in eye movements\nthat are indicative of degree of cognitive coordination during\nreading. The results show that text difficulty led to longer\nfixation durations and stronger power-law scaling in eye\nmovements. Moreover, the degree of power-law scaling in\neye movements was predictive of text comprehension. In line\nwith previous research on natural text reading that utilized the\nself-paced reading method, power-law scaling turned out to\nbe a superior predictor of reading comprehension compared\nto standard measures, suggesting that it is an effective\nmeasure of cognitive performance in complex reading tasks",
