About the study: We are interested in evaluating how humans process and understand different types of written text. IRB: STUDY00015556.
Study procedure: Participants will read a series of excerpts from news articles while their eye movements are tracked. Participants will rate how easy the articles are to read and how well-written the articles are, as well as complete a few free-response questions. In addition to the ratings and free-response questions, other data collected during this experiment is gaze data, i.e., the focal coordinates of the pupil on the display screen, as well as pupil diameter.
