Abstract

In this work the peculiarities of reading comprehension from electronic, audio devices and hard copies were studied through comparative analysis of the learning accuracy and electrical activity of the brain when reading or listening to the text. Eighty students took part in the research. They were offered 2 passages of text from fiction and popular-scientific literature for reading, presented in a form of an e-book, MP3-format and in a printed copy. The level of comprehension and assimilation of the read material was checked by testing based on the content of the text immediately after reading and in 2 weeks. The comparative EEG analysis did not reveal significant differences in the spectral power of the studied ranges when reading a paper book and e-book. Differences were found when listening to audiobooks comparatively to reading. In general, the effectiveness of text learning does not depend on the way of its presentation, however, sex and individual traits of a person, such as preferred learning style and extraversion level, are more important.

Highlights

  • In current project the possibility of seed transmission of Ukrainian Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) isolates was tested on Cucurbita pepo plants in insect-free greenhouse

  • Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus of the family Potyviridae that can result in yellowing, severe leaf and fruit deformation, especially on plants from Cucurbitaceae family, that can reduce yields up to 94% [3]

  • ZYMV strains belong to three diverse phylogenetic groups (A, B and C), which have different biological and molecular properties and distribution [2]

Summary

Introduction

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus of the family Potyviridae that can result in yellowing, severe leaf and fruit deformation, especially on plants from Cucurbitaceae family, that can reduce yields up to 94% [3]. Кореляційний аналіз даних між результатами тестування та спектральної потужності досліджуваних діапазонів ЕЕГ під час читання і пригадування виявив значущі кореляції між кількістю правильних відповідей щодо змісту художнього тексту одразу після прочитання з 3. Значущі коефіцієнти кореляції (r) між СП ритмів ЕЕГ під час читання й кількістю правильних відповідей одразу після прочитання тексту Примітки: горизонтальною лінією вказана відсутність кореляції між значеннями СП у відповідних відведеннях та кількістю правильних відповідей на тестування одразу після прочитання.
