Experiment 1 on the Effect of Sans Forgetica on Memory

Tested how much Sans Forgetica feels disfluent.
Participants: 151 undergraduate psychology students of a university.
Design: manipulation of Sans Forgetica and Arial between-subjects.
Procedure: two phases conducted online. Participants would read and answer questions on passages.
- Phase One: participants were randomly assigned a 298 words long passage in Sans Forgetica or Arial (Topics: Creation of Baseball, and Georgia O’Keefe). Four pages, each with one paragraph.
- Phase Two: researchers measure the difficulty of the passages from the participants on a scale from 1 to 7 (1 = very easy, 7 = very hard).
Results: participants rated Sans Forgetica more difficult than Arial to read, therefore more disfluent.
