49.1: Psychophysics of Reading: Implications for Displaying Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our psychophysical approach has the goal of explaining the dependence of reading performance on text parameters in terms of our understanding of spatial vision. In this presentation, we will focus on the impact of three attributes of characters (contrast, size and bandwidth), introduce the explanatory concept of the visual span, and discuss implications for text displays.

Most people with low vision need magnification to read. Page navigation is the process of moving a magnifier during reading. Modern electronic technology can provide many alternatives for navigating through text. This study compared reading speeds for four methods of displaying text. The four methods varied in their page-navigation demands. The closed-circuit television (CCTV) and MOUSE methods...

متن کاملThe relationship between Iranian EFL learners’ gender and reading comprehension of three different types of text
The present study investigated the relationship between the reading comprehension of three types of text and the gender of Iranian EFL learners. To this end, several reading passages with the same length and readability were selected based on which a reading comprehension test was constructed on three different text types namely essay, history, and short story. After determining the validity an...
متن کاملPsychophysics of reading--I. Normal vision.
This paper is about the visual requirements for reading with normal vision. It is the first in a series devoted to the psychophysics of reading with normal and low vision. We have measured reading rates for text scanned across the face of a TV monitor while varying parameters that are important in current theories of pattern vision. Our results provide estimates of the stimulus parameters requi...
متن کاملPsychophysics of reading. VIII. The Minnesota Low-Vision Reading Test.
This is the eighth in a series of papers dealing with the role of vision in reading. In previous papers, we have evaluated the effects of stimulus and subject variables on reading rate using a drifting-text procedure. In this paper, we describe a new test of reading rate that uses static text, called the Minnesota Low-Vision Reading Test (MNread). It is microcomputer-based, and more easily set ...
