Denis Drieghe
University of Southampton, United Kingdom
Studies of reading have focused on reading behaviour when participants read a single, mono-coloured sentence for comprehension. However, everyday reading behaviour, such as reading on the Web often entails people skim reading passages of text containing coloured links. We ran an experiment where participants simply read Webpages presented to them and another where participants could click and navigate through the Webpages. We recorded participants’ eye movements while they read modified pages from Wikipedia (that contained target words) and asked them to read for comprehension or skim read. Target words were either hyperlinked/unlinked, and either high/low-frequency. Linked words were skipped less often than unlinked words when skimming, revealing that participants used the coloured words as ‘anchor’ points for scanning strategies. In both experiments, frequency effects were observed during reading for comprehension but not during the skimming task, except when the words were hyperlinked. This indicated more advanced lexical processing for the linked target words. Results are discussed in terms of task effects on eye movements during reading and the necessity to also study reading behaviour in more realistic settings.
