“…Whereas one simply turns the page to move forward or backward through a printed document, navigation through an on-screen document entails using either a pointing device, for scrolling, or the arrow keys on the keyboard for paging (Piolat, Roussey, & Thunin, 1997). It is this difference in the navigational method that forms the basis of the proposition that the handling of the computer in conjecture with the original assignment, e.g.…”

“…In terms of visual cues, the A4 format falls between the screen and scroll layouts as it is possible to use the top (but not the bottom) of the page as a meaningful navigational cue. Secondly, the absence of visual cues impedes the encoding of information in a two-dimensional space, thereby rendering the decoding of meaning more cumbersome (Piolat et al, 1997). It is noteworthy that, despite the fact that no differences were shown in terms of the primary task, a significant effect was found with regard to the secondary task.…”

“…In addition to the modality of information presentation, the manner of screen reading is quite different from that of print reading. This includes the dynamic aspects of scrolling text on screen, a subject's position in relation to the screen and familiarity with the processes of scrolling and paging (Gould, Alfaro, Barnes, Finn, Grischkowsky & Minuto, 1987;Hansen & Haas, 1988;Piolat, Roussey & Thunin, 1997). Duchnicky and Kolers (1983) found that the upward movement of scrolling text on screen might have reduced the difficulty normally attributed to reading long lines (i.e.…”

Since the 1980s, extensive research has been conducted comparing reading comprehension from printed text and computer screens. The conclusions, however, are not very consistent. As reading from computer screens requires a certain degree of individual technical skill, such variables should be objectively taken into consideration when conducting an experiment regarding the comparison between print and screen reading. This study analyses the difference in the level of understanding of the two presentational formats (text on printed pages and hypertext on computer screens) for people between 45−54 years of age (i.e. "middleaged" adults). In our experimental findings there were no significant differences between the levels of comprehension for print and screen presentations. With regard to individual differences in gender, age group and educational level, the findings are as follows: gender and education effects on print reading comprehension performance were significant, while those on screen reading comprehension performance were not. For middle-aged computer learners, the main effect of age group on both print and screen reading comprehension performance was insignificant. In contrast, linear texts of traditional paper-based material are better for middle-aged readers' literal text comprehension, while hypertext is beneficial to their inferential text comprehension. It is also suggested that hypermedia could be used as a cognitive tool for improving middle-aged adults' inferential abilities on reading comprehension, provided that they were trained adequately to use available computers.

“…Reading with digital tools has been studied for a long time: many studies have investigated the effect of display and text parameters on reading performance [36], or the benefits of pagination over scroll layout (which is supposed to involve lower levels of mental workload [40] and to make a better use of spatial memory [28,29]), or of other visualization techniques [20]. Other studies have investigated the role of paper and the physicality of printed books, to find that they better support navigation [24,35] and recall of the text [25] than e-books.…”

Abstract.We introduce the idea of bilingual reading, where a document comes in two languages and the reader can choose at will on which language to focus during the reading. Between the complete ignorance of a language (where translation is the only option) and bilingualism (where translation is useless), there exists a variety of contexts of partial bilingualism where bilingual reading interfaces would prove highly useful. We first study through interviews and reviews how the bilingual reading experience is understood today. We provide an analysis framework and highlight design challenges for the design of bilingual reading appliances. We then describe a taxonomy of the different approaches available to address these challenges, analyze them in the light of our framework and show how they can be derived to sketch future bilingual reading interfaces.
