    Abstract: Based on sequential processing theory, parallel processing theory and interactive activation theory, some classical models about eye movement control are constructed to simulate the eye movement, experimental effects, and to explore the possible cognitive mechanisms of the information processing during reading. There are similarities and uniqueness in model structure, basic logic of model, explanation of common eye movement behaviors and explanation of common experimental effects between five classic eye movement control models in reading research: E-Z Reader 10th, SWIFT, Glenmore, OB1 Reader and CRM. Future models need to focus on the questions about post-lexical integration, word order, and extra-linguistic factors. They should also try to explain the new findings about PVL, and processing patterns in other languages. In addition, unified standards are needed for model comparation.
