Speed And Accuracy

The influence of word meanings on lexical processing in 2nd-, 3nd-, and 5th-grade high- and low-skill readers was examined. Two experiments examined the relationship between semantic correlates of word concreteness (specifically, rated imageability and context availability) and lexical processing speed and accuracy. Rated context availability was a significant predictor of lexical decision times and word reading accuracy beyond nonsemantic factors. However, context-availability effects were larger in young and low-skill readers. Thus, the ability to retrieve the meanings of low-context-availability words easily is an important component in the development of skilled reading.

<p><em><strong>Español</strong></em></p><p>Un cambio en la forma de evaluar la lectura en México en la educación primaria ha sido la introducción de la medición de la velocidad de lectura (palabras por minuto) del alumno como principal indicador de logro para la comprensión lectora. Esto tiene implicaciones directas en la enseñanza de la lectura. El objetivo de este estudio es examinar la relación entre velocidad lectora y comprensión lectora en una muestra de niños mexicanos entre 1° y 4° grados, para: a) identificar la forma en que la velocidad de lectura de textos y la velocidad de lectura de palabras inventadas se relacionan con la comprensión lectora y b) si estas relaciones difieren entre el ciclo 1 (1.° y 2.° grados) y el ciclo 2 (3.° y 4.° grados) de educación primaria. Se plantearon tres hipótesis y una pregunta de investigación. Las hipótesis fueron: 1) la relación entre la velocidad lectora en textos regulares tendrá una mayor asociación que la velocidad lectora de pseudopalabras con la comprensión lectora a lo largo de los cuatro grados; 2) la velocidad lectora de pseudopalabras tendrá una asociación mayor con comprensión lectora en el ciclo 1 que en el ciclo 2 y; 3) la velocidad lectora de textos regulares tendrá una asociación mayor con comprensión lectora en el ciclo 1 que en el ciclo 2. La pregunta de investigación exploratoria indagó si la velocidad sigue siendo predictiva de la comprensión lectora después de considerar la precisión. Los resultados aportan evidencia que apoyan las tres hipótesis y el análisis realizado para la pregunta de investigación mostró que la velocidad de lectura de textos sólo explicaba una varianza adicional del 6% después de controlar la precisión de lectura de pseudopalabras. Los resultados son interpretados en el contexto de la literatura existente.</p><p><em><strong>English</strong></em></p><p>A change in the way Reading is evaluated in Mexico in primary education has been the introduction of measuring reading speed in students. This has direct implications in the teaching of reading. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between reading speed and reading comprehension in a cross-sectional sample of Mexican children between 1st and 4th grades, in order to: a)identify the way that text reading speed and pseudoword reading speed are related to reading comprehension; b) identify whether these relationships differ between 1st cycle (1st and 2nd grades) and 2nd cycle (3rd and 4th grades). Three hypotheses and one research question were posited. The hypotheses were: 1) The relationship between text reading speed and reading comprehension will be stronger than that of word reading speed; 2) Pseudoword reading speed will have a stronger association with reading comprehension in the first cycle; 3) Text reading speed will have a stronger association with reading comprehension in the first cycle. An exploratory research question was formulated to evaluate whether speed is still predictive of reading comprehension beyond the contribution of accuracy. Results support the hypotheses while the analysis carried out for the research question showed that text reading speed added only 6% of variance after accounting for reading accuracy. Findings are interpreted in light of the existing literature.</p><p><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

Speed And Accuracy

Terrain-induced vibration of a moving vehicle adversely affects the ability to quickly and accurately perform in-vehicle pointing tasks by altering the planned fingertip trajectory. The relationship between movement speed and accuracy is a result of the combined use of visual and somatosensory feedbacks which are used to discern movement deviations and make necessary compensatory movements. Participants (N=20) performed three-dimensional rapid pointing tasks under stationary and ride motion conditions to three touchpanel displays. Ride motion contributed to increased reaction and movement times and increased endpoint variability. Trajectory deviations were correlated to the principal direction of vehicle acceleration. Reaches orthogonal to the dominant vehicle acceleration exhibited larger endpoint variability, and reaches to the elevated touchpanel resulted in the largest variability across all motion conditions. Principal axes of endpoint ellipses were along the on-axis and off-axis directions of fingertip movement.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among three spelling scoring metrics, namely, words spelled correctly (WSC), correct letter sequences (CLS), and phonological coding (PC) in Malay language. The relationship between spelling measure and word reading measure was studied. There were 866 Primary 1 (Grade 1 equivalent) students from 11 randomly selected public primary schools in Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia who participated in this study. The study showed that the scores from each scoring metric were highly correlated to each other. There was a strong relationship between each spelling outcome to word reading.

Speed And Accuracy

Mathematics, being a very ancient discipline, is usually seen as a formal subject that must be learned for school purposes, which is very far from creativity and fun. Also, mathematical skills are often considered a talent, so students are easily divided into gifted and not gifted, with a focus on speed and accuracy rather than encouraging the process of juggling between divergent and convergent thinking. In the present paper, we aimed at investigating the relationship between mathematical reasoning and different aspects of creative thinking, such as divergent and convergent creativity, aesthetic appreciation, and humor. To do so, 146 second and third graders in a primary school in Milan have been recruited and tested with mathematical and creative tasks. Correlational analyses showed significant positive relations between flexibility and originality dimensions of creativity and mathematical performance. Results are discussed by providing a theoretical framework about the relation between mathematics and creative skills.

The relationship between competition law and development continues to be a subject that excites many. The appropriate design of a competition law with developmental dimensions is a contentious issue. With the enactment of the Competition Act 2002, India joined the hundred odd developing countries that have adopted new competition laws over the last two decades. After a hiatus of seven years, substantive provisions of the Act have been notified recently. The Indian Act presents a perfect case study for the developmental dimensions of competition law. This paper explores the events that led to the enactment of the new law in India and analyses its provisions from a developmental perspective. The paper concludes that many of the provisions in the law may come in the way of the realization of developmental goals.

Purpose This study aims to investigate “immersive reading,” which occurs when individuals read text while in a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) environment. Design/methodology/approach In Experiment 1, 64 participants read text passages and answered multiple-choice questions in VR and AR head-mounted displays (HMDs) compared with doing the same task on liquid crystal display (LCD). In Experiment 2, 31 participants performed the same reading tasks but with two VR HMDs of different display quality. Findings Compared with reading on LCD as the baseline, participants reading in VR and AR HMDs got 82% (VR) and 88% (AR) of the information accurately. Participants tended to respond more accurately and faster, though not statistically significant, with the VR HMD of higher pixel density in the speed-reading task. Originality/value The authors observed the speed and accuracy of reading in VR and AR environments, compared with the reading speed and accuracy on an LCD monitor. The authors also compared the reading performance on two VR HMDs that differed in display quality but were otherwise similar in every way.

Speed And Accuracy

Although experimental studies have shown a strong impact of text layout on the legibility of e- text, many digital texts appearing in eBook or the Internet use different designs, so that there is no straightforward answer in the literature over which one to follow when designing e- material. Therefore, in this chapter we shall focus on the text layout, particularly the influence of line length. This experiment is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the factor of line length by studying its effect on reading speed and accuracy using various columns [one column and two columns] with each page having the same amount of information. The second part tests a new approach which basically assumes that by using different colours for the first and last word of each line, it will improve students' reading level. This hypothesis was based on pervious findings over the difficulty of being able to immediately locate the following line (Chan and Lee 2005). In addition, this approach was based on explanation of the eye movement which, in the reading process, does not scan a line but stops for about ¼ of a second before jumping to new place such as at the end of the line when the eye goes back to the beginning of the new line.
