Single-word, stationary

• Presenting one word at once helps people understand more during a fixed duration
• Allows readers to read at a faster rate without compromising recall
• Inconsistent findings for texts longer than a paragraph
• Comprehension is similar to skimming through large chunks of text

Changing unit size presented, stationary

• Varying the size of texts presented based on words, clauses, sentences
• Recall for each text size depends on reading speed
• Clauses or sentences are more effective for recall when reading slower
• Single words more effective for recall under a faster reading speed
• Dividing texts up based on clauses/sentences increased comprehension, especially regarding large ideas
