Initial analysis suggests the
following.
Default conditions
99 fixation 26.2
sec
83 words ( MS word
definition)
0.84 words per
fixation 3.78 fixations per second 265 milliseconds per
fixation
Optimum conditions
77
fixations 15 sec
88 words (MS word definition)
1.14 words per
fixation 5.13 fixations per second 194
milliseconds per fixation
Change in words per fixation…
+34 %
Increase in speed of fixation
edge detection/ ‘decoding’ 36%.
You can look at this data in
terms of mean number of characters decoded per fixation ( Visual attention span)
Default
5 characters per fixation
Optimal
7 (6.68) characters per
fixation
This suggests an increase in
visual attention span of 36%.
Increase in speed of
processing of individual characters..
Default 18.8
characters per second
Optimal 34.2 characters
per second. An 82% increase in character recognition speed!
This should give rise to
reduced demand on your central executive/working memory which should release
RAM for thinking about the ideas AS you read.
