The Influence of Format Readability on Children’s Reading Speed and Comprehension

Background: Format readability, including font and spacing, impacts reading metrics in adults, but will the research generalize to children? We examined how eight fonts (four serif and four sans serif) and three-character spacing variations influenced children’s reading comprehension and reading speed. Methods: Fifty-one students in third–fifth grade read 11 narrative text passages on a computer and answered comprehension questions. Passages were randomized in terms of order. First, the font in which the text of each passage was presented was manipulated. Then passages were presented in three spacing manipulations (narrow, normal, and wide). Results: A linear mixed effects model demonstrated that, on a group-level, passages presented in Roboto and Arial font were read significantly faster (words-per-minute) than other fonts. On the individual level, students experienced significant boosts in reading speed (words-per-minute) between their best and worst fitting font, and spacing. A chi-square test showed no one font or spacing setting that was most likely to be a students’ font fit or clash. For reading comprehension, no speed–comprehension tradeoff was observed. Conclusions: Changes to text format at the group and individual level may yield boosts in reading speed for students, without negatively impacting reading comprehension.

A medical record folder is a thick paper cover that unites all of a patient's sheets so that they become one complete history, protects the medical record files inside so that they are not easily damaged and makes it easier to store, search and transfer medical record files (Heltiani, 2020). Designing a medical record folder has physical aspects, anatomical aspects and content aspects. The physical aspect consists of materials: Ivory paper, the shape resembles a rectangular book, there are folds to increase the capacity to store medical record forms accompanied by color coding. Anatomical aspects include the Header, which contains the logo, name, address and telephone number, Introduction, Instructions, which contains confidential information from the medical record folder, Body contains the Name and Medical Record Number. Register Number and Year of Visit, Font using Time New Roman, form title size 40, patient identity and year of visit size 12, while Arial font size 14 is used for instructions, Ruler has a ruler on the medical record folder to limit the heading and body of the map, Border there is a border in the medical record folder. Content aspects include the identity of the health service facility, the identity of the name of the health service facility, the patient's name, the medical record number, the year of the last visit and the row available in the year of the last visit in the medical record folder. Socialization is given to medical record officers using discussion, lecture and question and answer methods. It is hoped that the results of this socialization will be for the Bestari Community Health Center to redesign the medical record folder which refers to three aspects, namely: anatomical aspects, physical aspects and content aspects so that the medical record forms are not damaged or scattered.

The Influence of Fonts on the Reading Performance in Easy-to-Read Texts: A Legibility Study with 145 Participants

Abstract This study examines whether the common typographical recommendations for texts in easy-to-read language are helpful. So far, using a sans-serif font in 14 pt has been suggested. The statistical evaluation shows that Thesis TheSans is read significantly faster than Arial. Fonts with serifs are read slightly faster. The font size of 12 pt is large enough. The study clearly indicates that the strict commitment to sans serif fonts—and the Arial font in particular—for texts in easy-to-read language is wrong. The results can be used by designers and clients as a valid decision-making aid when creating barrier-free communication.

The Effect of Supplementary Food in the Form of Moringa Leaf Dry Brownies on the Increasing Weight of Under-Fives with Underweight Status

Background: In 2020, the percentage of underweight children under five in Indonesia is relatively high, which is 6.7% or a total of 779,139 children under five. Wonokerto Village is the village with the highest number of underweight children under five in Turi District. This shows that the problem of under-five malnutrition is still high both in Indonesia and in the regions, even though toddlers are a golden age where the growth process occurs very rapidly and cannot be repeated. Therefore, malnutrition in toddlers needs to be addressed immediately so that growth disorders do not occur. One alternative treatment is with dry brownies of Moringa leaves.
 Methods: This study used Pre Experimental designs, One Group Pretest and Posttest with a sample of 34 underweight toddlers who were intervened for 21 days and analyzed their weight gain using the Paired T-Test.
 Results: The results showed that there was an increase in underfive weight between before and after being given moringa leaf brownies with a p value of 0.000 < 0.05..
 Conclusion: The conclusion is there is an effect of providing additional food in the form of dry brownies of Moringa leaves on increasing body weight in underfives with underweight status.

Garrano Horses Perceive Letters of the Alphabet on a Touchscreen System: A Pilot Study.

This study aimed to use a computer-controlled touchscreen system to examine visual discrimination in Garrano horses (Equus caballus), an endangered breed of pony belonging to the Iberian horse family. This pilot study focused on the perceptual similarity among letters of the alphabet. We tested five horses in a one-male unit (OMU) living permanently in a semi-free enclosure near their natural habitat in Serra d'Arga, northern Portugal. Horses were trained to nose-touch black circles that appeared on the screen. Then, they were tested for discrimination of five letters of the Latin alphabet in Arial font, namely O, B, V, Z, and X, using a two-choice discrimination task. The confusion matrix of letter pairs was used to show the MDS and to identify the relative contribution of shape features. The results showed perceptual similarities among letters with curvatures pitted against those of straight lines. Shape perception in horses seems to share features with that of humans and other animals living in different niches. The touchscreen system proved to be an objective and innovative way of studying cognition in the socially organized group of horses. The automated system can promote the welfare of captive horses by maximizing their freedom of movement.

Distinctive Sans Forgetica font does not benefit memory accuracy in the DRM paradigm

A common method used by memory scholars to enhance retention is to make materials more challenging to learn-a benefit termed desirable difficulties. Recently, researchers have investigated the efficacy of Sans Forgetica, a perceptually disfluent/distinctive font which may increase processing effort required at study and enhance memory as a result. We examined the effects of Sans Forgetica relative to a standard control font (Arial) on both correct memory and associative memory errors using the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) false memory paradigm, to evaluate Sans Forgetica effects on overall memory accuracy. Across four experiments, which included nearly 300 participants, Sans Forgetica was found to have no impact on correct or false memory of DRM lists relative to a standard Arial control font, regardless of whether font type was manipulated within or between subjects or whether memory was assessed via free recall or recognition testing. Our results indicate that Sans Forgetica is ineffective for improving memory accuracy even when accounting for associative memory errors.

Adolescents reading texts in LexiaD, a dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font: A mobile eye-tracking study

Recently, LexiaD, a dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font, was tested alongside the widely used Arial font in an experiment during which adolescents with and without dyslexia silently read sentences on a computer screen (Alexeeva et al., 2022). LexiaD showed a worse performance than Arial at the beginning of the experiment, but by the end of it, LexiaD demonstrated a positive effect in feature extraction and similar performance in lexical access, text integration, and global reading processing. We suggest that Arial’s initial advantage can be explained either by its familiarity or by its design features. The current study aims to test these assumptions in adolescents without dyslexia by comparing LexiaD with two popular fonts familiar to adolescents: Times New Roman and Roboto (a default font for the Google applications that is similar to Arial). Participants silently read printed versions of three texts (one in each of the three fonts) while their eye movements were recorded using a mobile eye tracker (Pupil Core glasses). In reading speed measures, Roboto outperformed LexiaD, whereas we found no evidence that Times New Roman’s performance was better than that of LexiaD. Moreover, there was no evidence that the control fonts differed in terms of subjective font familiarity. Therefore, we speculate that it was the design features that contributed the most to Arial becoming a facilitating font in the previous experiment. A study that investigates the efficiency of LexiaD, Arial/Roboto, and Times New Roman in a less experienced group (with participants less accustomed to particular fonts) is required to replicate our results. Involving people with dyslexia in future studies is extremely important.

The effect of a dyslexia-specific Cyrillic font, LexiaD, on reading speed: further exploration in adolescents with and without dyslexia

The current study aims to test the assumption that a specially designed Cyrillic font, LexiaD, can assist adolescents with persistent reading problems and facilitate their reading experience. LexiaD was compared with the widely used Arial font. Two groups of adolescents with dyslexia (N = 34) and without dyslexia (N = 28) silently read 144 sentences from the Russian Sentence Corpus (Laurinavichyute et al., 2019), some of which were presented in LexiaD, and others in Arial, while their eye movements were recorded. LexiaD did not show the desired effect for adolescents at the beginning of the experiment: Arial outperformed it in reading speed in both participant groups. By the end of the experiment, LexiaD outperformed Arial, and although the speed of the higher-level cognitive processing (e.g., lexical access) in both fonts did not differ significantly, the feature extraction was found to be better in LexiaD than in Arial. Thus, we found some positive effect of LexiaD when participants with and without dyslexia got accustomed to it. A follow-up study with an explicit exposure session is needed to confirm this conclusion.

Inventive Problem-Solving in Project-Based Learning on Design and Technology: A Needs Analysis for Module Development

Abstract: Education in Malaysia is transforming to increase students’ ability and meet the needs of the industry. In Design and Technology subject, students apply the technology to develop a product capable of solving problems through a project-based learning approach. Therefore, this study aims to (a) identify problems in the implementation of design project and (b) identify the needs for module development. An online survey was conducted on 140 Design and Technology subject teachers in Batu Pahat district, Johor. Findings showed that the overall level of problem in the implementation of project-based learning was high and there was no significant difference in perception of problems in implementing project-based learning by gender, but a significant difference of perception by teaching experience. In terms of module content, the overall findings showed that the content requirement in the module was high. Gender and teaching experience showed no significant difference in perception of module content requirement. Finally, the findings showed that the suggested module design features are using Arial font and multi-colour, content in point form, A4 size, and contain graphical content. Therefore, it is proposed that this module should be developed due to its high requirements and should meet the needs of users, so that the goals of project implementation can be achieved.

Experimental study on legibility of typographic information of ventilator interface

This study aims to reduce errors made by medical personnel that are caused by poorly read information on ventilator interfaces by determining the factors that enhance the legibility of typographic information, including the font size, font type, and character case, and determining whether personal protective equipment (PPE) has any impact on legibility. The rate of accuracy, response time (for making decisions and carrying out actions), and cognitive processing/efficiency through eye movement indicators (diameter of pupil (an index of cognitive effort) and average fixation time (index of level of engagement)) are used to measure the legibility. It is found that the font type and case have a significant impact on the legibility of the information. The Arial font is more legible than the Times New Roman font, and lowercase letters are more legible than uppercase letters. The PPE has no significant influence on the legibility. The font size has a significant effect on the response time, but not on the rate of accuracy, average fixation time and diameter of the pupil. The response time is greatly reduced with a font size of 20 pt. Therefore, a ventilator interface with information parameters that use a 20 pt Arial font with lowercase letters can offer greater legibility. The experimental results provide guidance for designing the typographic information of ventilator interfaces.

Reading Speed Performance based on Interface Design Elements for Web Interfaces

The development of technology and internet has contributed to more people viewing on-screen content and an increase the amount of material that can be read directly from a Web-based platform. The transformation from paper-based materials to digital materials on the Web, more or less has affected the readability of the materials in which information presented on the printed and web-based documents is dissimilar. However, only few studies have been carried out on the presentation of information specifically, the readability of the text in web-based platform. Meanwhile, readability is one of the crucial aspect of Web usability and could affect the success of a website. The speed of reading is regarded as a good measure of readability. Therefore, this study aims to measure the readers reading speed for web interfaces. This study followed a quantitative analysis method that used experiments to collect data and involved university students as the test subjects. A Web-based Reading Speed Test System (RSTS) was developed for data collection and analysis purpose. The findings of this study found that the web interface with the combination of blue font color, yellow background color and Arial font type have the highest reading speed. In contrary, web interface that consists of combination black font color, white background color and Arial font type have the lowest reading speed. In addition, the reading speed of male participants was slightly higher than the female participants. To conclude, the results of this study signify that the interface design had a significant impact on the students reading speed for web pages.

A Tesseract-based Optical Character Recognition for a Text-to-Braille Code Conversion

This study provided a platform that converts printed text documents into corresponding braille code that will trigger the palpable output of the braille cells. The system is composed of two main parts: the image scanner and the microcontroller-based braille platform. The image scanner captures the printed text document and performs a series of pre-processing algorithms where the processed image will be subjected to character recognition using Tesseract. It is open-source software for character recognition capable of recognizing text characters in different fonts and sizes. SimpleCV, also an open-source software for computer vision and a simpler version of an OpenCV, was utilized in pre-processing of images where binarization, filtering, edge detection, and character segmentation are performed. This will allow the microcontroller-based braille platform to interpret the printed characters from the generated braille code in ASCII format that will trigger the palpable output of the braille cells. The developed system was subjected to functionality and accuracy testing to assess its performance. Accuracy was based on the capability of the system to produce the right braille outputs that match the scanned line of text which are in Arial font. The testing was conducted utilizing the Arial font size of 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24. Results show that the system is capable of recognizing text with greater than 85 % accuracy starting at font size 18 with an average accuracy of 88.09 % and increases accordingly as the font size increases.

Dyslexie font does not benefit reading in children with or without dyslexia

In two experiments, the claim was tested that the font “Dyslexie”, specifically designed for people with dyslexia, eases reading performance of children with (and without) dyslexia. Three questions were investigated. (1) Does the Dyslexie font lead to faster and/or more accurate reading? (2) Do children have a preference for the Dyslexie font? And, (3) is font preference related to reading performance? In Experiment 1, children with dyslexia (n = 170) did not read text written in Dyslexie font faster or more accurately than in Arial font. The majority preferred reading in Arial and preference was not related to reading performance. In Experiment 2, children with (n = 102) and without dyslexia (n = 45) read word lists in three different font types (Dyslexie, Arial, Times New Roman). Words written in Dyslexie font were not read faster or more accurately. Moreover, participants showed a preference for the fonts Arial and Times New Roman rather than Dyslexie, and again, preference was not related to reading performance. These experiments clearly justify the conclusion that the Dyslexie font neither benefits nor impedes the reading process of children with and without dyslexia.

The effects of luminance contrast, colour combinations, font, and search time on brand icon legibility

This study explored and identified the effects of luminance contrast, colour combinations, font, and search time on brand icon legibility. A total of 108 participants took part in the experiment. As designed, legibility was measured as a function of the following independent variables: four levels of luminance contrast, sixteen target/background colour combinations, two fonts, and three search times. The results showed that a luminance contrast of 18:1 provided readers with the best legibility. Yellow on black, yellow on blue, and white on blue were the three most legible colour combinations. One of this study's unique findings was that colour combinations may play an even more important role than luminance contrast in the overall legibility of brand icon design. The 12-s search time corresponded with the highest legibility. Arial font was more legible than Times New Roman. These results provide some guidance for brand icon and product advertisement design.
