'Nicholas J. Belkin'] In Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR) experiments the user's gaze motion on web pages is often recorded with eye tracking. The data is used to analyze gaze behavior or to identify Areas of Interest (AOI) the user has looked at. So far, tools for analyzing eye tracking data have certain…

2.5### Data analysis 2.5.1#### Ratings Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic variables, reading proficiency, reading comprehension scores, and comprehension difficulty ratings. Paired-sample t-tests were performed to examine the differences between the two readings in terms of comprehension scores…

Successful reading comprehension depends on many factors, including text genre. Eye-tracking studies indicate that genre shapes eye movement patterns at a local level. Although the reading of expository and narrative texts by adolescents has been described in the literature, the reading of poetry by adolescents remains…

Distant reading methodologies make use of computational processes to aid in the analysis of large text corpora which might not be pliable to traditional methods of scholarly analysis due to their volume. While these methods have been applied effectively to a variety of types of texts and contexts, they can leave…

'Michail Kalaitzakis' 'Theodora Bachourou' 'Georgios Kaloutsakis' 'George D. Kymionis' 'Stelios M. Smirnakis' 'Ioannis M. Aslanides'] Dyslexia is a developmental learning disorder of single word reading accuracy and/or fluency, with compelling research directed towards understanding the contributions of the visual…

Reading fluency, the ability to read quickly and accurately, is a critical marker of successful reading and is notoriously difficult to improve in reading disabled populations. Despite its importance to functional literacy, fluency is a relatively under-studied aspect of reading, and the neural correlates of reading…

We offer an account of reading comprehension that we believe will help clarify some common conceptual confusions in the relevant literature, as well as contribute to existing functional accounts. We argue that defining texts qua texts as stimulus classes, on the one hand, and equating “comprehension” with behavior…

Reading is a crucial skill for critical thinking and cognitive development, yet many individuals experience difficulties that impact their daily lives. This study examines the neurophysiological differences between proficient and struggling readers using electroencephalography (EEG). The analysis focuses on the alpha…

Inferior frontal cortex (IFC) is a critical region for reading and language. This part of the cortex is highly heterogeneous in its structural and functional organization and shows high variability across individuals. Despite decades of research, the relationship between specific IFC regions and reading skill remains…

The empirical study of reading dates back more than 125 years. But despite this long tradition, the scientific understanding of reading has made rather heterogeneous progress: many factors that influence the process of text reading have been uncovered, but theoretical explanations remain fragmented; no general theory…

'Angelos Papadopoulos'] Inference plays a key role in reading comprehension. This study examines changes in inferential behavior while reading different genres. The inferential behavior of 28 students with reading disabilities (RDs) and 44 students without RDs was quantified while they read expository and narrative…

The readability assessment deals with estimating the level of difficulty in reading texts.Many readability tests, which do not indicate execution efficiency, have been applied on specific texts to measure the reading grade level in science textbooks. In this paper, we analyze the content covered in elementary school…

As time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments become more prevalent, new tools are required to process and analyze the large amounts of data measured efficiently. To address this growing demand, we developed autoXAS: a python package for easy, fast, and reproducible processing and analysis of in-situ and…

The use of adequate reading comprehension strategies is important to read efficiently. Students with dyslexia not only read slower and less accurately, they also use fewer reading comprehension strategies. To compensate for their decoding problems, they often receive audio-support (narration written text). However…

Visualizing narratives is useful to writers to reflect on unfinished drafts and identify unintentional biases and inconsistencies. Literary scholars can use the visualizations to identify nuanced patterns and literary styles from written text. Current narrative visualization is limited to representing character and…

The process of connected text reading has received very little attention in contemporary cognitive psychology. This lack of attention is in parts due to a research tradition that emphasizes the role of basic lexical constituents, which can be studied in isolated words or sentences. However, this lack of attention is in…

Aesthetic education is pivotal in shaping a comprehensive and harmonious humanity, with aesthetic reading playing a crucial role in both formal and informal educational settings. Despite its importance, the transition from semantic comprehension to aesthetic appreciation remains poorly understood. This study, informed…

Diagnosis of alexia has historically focused on syndromes, such as surface alexia, which capture discrete patterns of reading deficits observed in some patients, but do not describe the breadth of reading deficits observed in practice. Aphasia research has recently shifted focus to language process impairments rather…

The neural basis of reading is highly consistent across a variety of languages and visual scripts. An unanswered question is whether the sensory modality of symbols influences the neural basis of reading. According to the modality-invariant view, reading depends on the same neural mechanisms regardless of the sensory…

Modernist novels are thought to break with traditional plot structure. In this paper, we test this theory by applying Sentiment Analysis to one of the most famous modernist novels, Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. We first assess Sentiment Analysis in light of the critique that it cannot adequately account for…

Inferences are an indicator of a greater reading comprehension, as they imply a combination of implicit and explicit information that usually combines a textual representation with background knowledge of the reader. The aim of this study is to explore the costs and benefits of the time course of inferences in…

Forensics has long been viewed by chemical educators as a field with great potential as far as providing inspiration for modifying chemistry laboratory curriculum and enhancing students’ learning experience at different levels. While most experiments are based on adaptation of laboratory procedures routinely used in…

Amines play a significant role in everyday life, and their detection remains a crucial focus in research and development. Although conducting polymer-based gas sensors have been widely reported for amine detection using DC resistivity measurements, they often lack selectivity to distinguish between intragroup…
