Reading Speed, Comprehension and Eye Movements While Reading Japanese Novels: Evidence from Untrained Readers and Cases of Speed-Reading Trainees
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that meditative training enhances perception and cognition. In Japan, the Park-Sasaki method of speed-reading involves organized visual training while forming both a relaxed and concentrated state of mind, as in meditation. The present study examined relationships between reading speed, sentence comprehension, and eye movements while reading short ...
متن کاملEye movements, the perceptual span, and reading speed.
The perceptual span or region of effective vision during eye fixations in reading was examined as a function of reading speed (fast readers were compared with slow readers), font characteristics (fixed width vs. proportional width), and intraword spacing (normal or reduced). The main findings were that fast readers (reading at about 330 wpm) had a larger perceptual span than did slow readers (r...
متن کاملChild readers’ eye movements in reading Thai
It has recently been found that adult native readers of Thai, an alphabetic scriptio continua language, engage similar oculomotor patterns as readers of languages written with spaces between words; despite the lack of inter-word spaces, first and last characters of a word appear to guide optimal placement of Thai readers' eye movements, just to the left of word-centre. The issue addressed by th...
متن کاملA Useful-based Evaluation of Reading Support Systems: Comprehension, Reading Speed and Effective Speed
This paper reports the result of our experiment, the aim of which is to examine the efficiency of reading support systems such as a sentencemachine translation system, a word-machine translation system, and so on. Our evaluation method used in the experiment is able to handle the different reading support systems by assessing the usability of the systems, i.e., comprehension, reading speed, and...
متن کاملEvaluation of Reading Support Tools by Reading Comprehension Tests and Reading Speed Tests
This paper introduces our reading process monitoring systems and also presents the experimental results that show the adequacy of our reading data. Our system divides a text into reading areas and records reading time for each area. We conducted two experiments using this tool to verify the adequacy of our reading process data. In the first experiment, we examined whether the reading process ca...
