“…Consequently, the larger saccade amplitudes for experts than non-musicians in our study imply that the experts in our study might have a larger visual span, which is consistent with chunking and template theory. "Chunks" and "templates" could potentially enable music experts to engage in more parafoveal processing than novices (for a related discussion, see Sheridan et al, 2020). More generally, experts in many different domains have also shown enhanced parafoveal and/or peripheral processing of domain-specific stimuli relative to novices, including face perception (e.g., Richler & Gauthier, 2014), chess (e.g., Reingold & Sheridan, 2011), text reading (e.g., Rayner & Pollatsek, 1997; for reviews, see Rayner, 1998Rayner, , 2009Schotter et al, 2012), and medical image perception (e.g., Drew et al, 2013;Krupinski et al, 2006;Sheridan & Reingold, 2017).…”
