Abstract
This experiment compared self-paced reading time and comprehension for subjects who read both paper-and computer-displayed passages. Reading time was longer and comprehension was less accurate for computer presentation than for paper presentation, but only when subjects were tested on the computer-presented texts first. These data raise the possibility that the processes involved in reading video text may not be comparable to traditional reading, especially without extensive practice on a given task. It is suggested that data from computer-controlled reading experiments that use relatively brief testing sessions should be viewed with caution.
