International Journal of Human-Computer Studies ispublished: pub subjects: psy-ling subjects: cog-psy subjects: comp-sci-hci full_text_status: public keywords: Reading text, revising text, screen presentation, mental representation abstract: Two studies using the methods of experimental psychology assessed the effects of two types of text presentation (page-by-page vs. scrolling) on participants' performance while reading and revising texts. Greater facilitative effects of the page-by-page presentation were observed in both tasks. The participants' reading task performance indicated that they built a better mental representation of the text as a whole and were better at locating relevant information and remembering the main ideas. Their revising task performance indicated a larger number of global corrections (which are the most difficult to make). date: 1997 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies volume: 47 pagerange: 565-589 refereed: TRUE citation: Piolat, A and Roussey, JY and Thunin, O (1997) Effect of screen presentation on text reading and revising.
