title: Psychology of computer use: XV. Effects of display format on reading text from a CRT.
abstract: Comprehension of brief computer-displayed text was investigated. Question-answering ability was affected by both rate of text presentation and text difficulty. More importantly, though, text presented one word at a time was comprehended better than text presented in multiword units or chunks. Results are discussed with regard to optimizing reading from computer displays.
