# Conclusion

This thesis set out to test whether it matters if a long text:index{term="texts, length of"} is read on paper or on a screen. Chapters 3 to 5 reported a within-subjects:index{term="within-subjects design"} experiment with forty-eight :index[undergraduates] and :index[interviews] with sixteen of them, combined in the :index[convergent design] described by Creswell:index{term="Creswell, John W."} and Plano Clark:index{term="Plano Clark, Vicki L."} (2018). This chapter brings the two strands together and sets out what they mean for :index[teaching] and for the :index[design of reading software].

## What the study found

:ref{id="findings" style="full"} summarises the results.:index{term="comprehension"} On :index[literal]{term="comprehension!literal"} questions, answerable from a single sentence, the medium made no difference. On :index[inferential]{term="comprehension!inferential"} questions, which required connecting ideas across paragraphs, paper readers scored higher. The difference points the same way as the :index[meta-analyses] of Delgado:index{term="Delgado, Pablo"} et al. (2018) and Clinton:index{term="Clinton, Virginia"} (2019), which found the :index[paper advantage] in :index[expository]{term="expository text"} rather than :index[narrative]{term="narrative text"} texts.

Calibration:index{term="calibration"} showed the larger difference. Screen readers:index{term="calibration!on screen"} predicted:index{term="confidence!judgements of"} higher scores than paper readers and obtained lower ones, so the gap between :index[confidence] and :index[accuracy]:index{term="calibration!bias in"} was nearly three times as wide. The result repeats the :index[overconfidence] that Ackerman:index{term="Ackerman, Rakefet"} and Goldsmith:index{term="Goldsmith, Morris"} (2011) found in students who read on screen and set their own study time.:index{term="self-regulated study"} Such readers stop once they judge a text understood, so overconfidence cuts their study short.

Paper readers also turned back:index{term="look-backs"} almost twice as often as screen readers scrolled back:index{term="scrolling"}, most often just before an inferential question.:index{term="comprehension!inferential"} In the interviews:index{term="interviews"}, eleven of the sixteen :index[participants] remembered:index{term="memory"} where on a page:index{term="spatial memory"} an idea had been (“top left, next to the diagram”), and three gave up looking for a passage on the :index[tablet] because “it could have been anywhere”. Liu:index{term="Liu, Ziming"} (2005) described a drift towards :index[browsing] and :index[keyword spotting] on screen; these readers went through the whole text but had fewer :index[landmarks] to return to.

## Implications for teaching and design

For short texts and factual questions, screens serve as well as paper.:index{term="teaching"} For long expository:index{term="expository text"} texts that students must understand:index{term="comprehension"} rather than search, paper remains the safer choice.:index{term="paper advantage"} Where it is not available, students should test their understanding instead of trusting their sense of it: in the :index[pilot sessions], a short :index[self-test] after reading halved the overconfidence:index{term="overconfidence"} on screen.:index{term="calibration!on screen"}

Readers also used the fixed position of text on a page as a map,:index{term="landmarks"} one of the uses of paper that Sellen:index{term="Sellen, Abigail J."} and Harper:index{term="Harper, Richard H. R."} (2002) observed in offices.:index{term="offices, paper in"} Reading applications:index{term="design of reading software"} that keep a stable page and show the reader’s place in the whole text may restore some of that map.

## Limitations and further work

The participants:index{term="participants"} were students at one university:index{term="university, single"} who read English fluently,:index{term="limitations"} and the medium matters more for some readers, texts and tasks than it does for others (Singer:index{term="Singer, Lauren M."} & Alexander:index{term="Alexander, Patricia A."}, 2017). The texts were expository and about 1,800 words long,:index{term="texts, length of"} and the screen condition used a single tablet.:index{term="tablet"} A :index[replication] with a larger sample, several devices and the eye-movement:index{term="eye movements"} recording reviewed by Rayner:index{term="Rayner, Keith"} (1998) would show where on the page the two media part company.

Huey:index{term="Huey, Edmund Burke"} (1908) thought that a complete analysis of what we do when we read would be almost the acme of a psychologist’s achievements. The experiments reported here add a small part to that analysis; the replication proposed above could measure how far readers rely on the position of a passage on the page when they look back.

# Interview guide {style="appendix" letter="A"}

The interviews:index{term="interviews"} took place within a week of each participant’s:index{term="participants"} second session. They were audio-recorded,:index{term="interviews!recording of"} transcribed:index{term="transcription"} in full and analysed thematically:index{term="thematic analysis"} following Braun:index{term="Braun, Virginia"} and Clarke:index{term="Clarke, Victoria"} (2006); :ref{id="session-plan" style="full"} gives their timing:index{term="interviews!timing of"}: a free recall:index{term="recall"} of the two study texts, the questions below and a short debriefing.:index{term="debriefing"} The questions were asked in this order,:index{term="interviews!questions asked"} and a prompt:index{term="interviews!prompts in"} only when the participant had not already covered its point.

1. Tell me about the last long text:index{term="texts, length of"} you read for a course.:index{term="courses, reading for"}
   - Where did you read it, and on paper or on a screen?
2. Which of the texts in this study do you remember:index{term="memory"} best, and why?
3. When you wanted to check an earlier passage, what did you do?:index{term="look-backs"}
   - How did you know where to look?
4. How sure were you of your answers?:index{term="confidence"} What made you more or less sure?
5. Did reading on the tablet:index{term="tablet"} feel different from reading on paper?
6. Some students say they read more carefully on paper. Do you?
7. What would the ideal way to read a long text for study be like?:index{term="design of reading software"}

# Glossary {style="glossary" note="Words in italics are defined under entries of their own."}

:::paragraphs{style="term"}
**calibration**:index{term="calibration" main} The agreement between a reader’s confidence in having understood a text and the accuracy of that understanding, measured here as the difference between predicted and actual scores.

**comprehension, inferential**:index{term="comprehension!inferential" main} Understanding that requires the reader to connect information from different parts of a text or to add knowledge the text does not state.

**comprehension, literal**:index{term="comprehension!literal" main} Understanding of what a single sentence or passage states directly.

**confidence judgement**:index{term="confidence!judgements of" main} A reader’s estimate, made after reading and before seeing the questions, of how many answers will be correct.

**convergent design**:index{term="convergent design" main} A mixed-methods design in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected in the same period, analysed separately and then compared.

**expository text**:index{term="expository text" main} A text written to explain or inform, such as a textbook chapter or a report, as opposed to a narrative text.

**fixation**:index{term="fixation" main} A pause of the eyes, typically about a quarter of a second, during which the reader takes in text; fixations alternate with *saccades*.

**look-back**:index{term="look-backs" main} Any return to an earlier part of a text during reading: turning back a page, scrolling up or following a link to a previous section.

**metacomprehension**:index{term="metacomprehension" main} A reader’s knowledge and monitoring of their own understanding of a text; *calibration* is one of its measures.

**navigation**:index{term="navigation" main} The movements a reader makes through a text as a whole, as distinct from the movements of the eyes along a line.

**overconfidence**:index{term="overconfidence" main} Positive *calibration* bias: predicting a higher score than the one actually obtained.

**saccade**:index{term="saccade" main} A rapid movement of the eyes from one *fixation* to the next, during which little or no text is taken in.

**screen inferiority effect**:index{term="screen inferiority effect" main} The finding that comprehension of the same text is lower on screen than on paper, most consistently for *expository texts* read under time pressure.

**self-regulated study**:index{term="self-regulated study" main} Reading in which the reader, not the experimenter, decides how long to spend on a text.

**spatial memory for text**:index{term="spatial memory" main} Memory of where on a page or in a document a piece of information appeared, used as a cue for *look-backs*.

**thematic analysis**:index{term="thematic analysis" main} A method for identifying, analysing and reporting patterns of meaning across qualitative data such as interview transcripts.

**within-subjects design**:index{term="within-subjects design" main} An experimental design in which every participant takes part in every condition, here reading on both paper and screen.
