In the present paper, four methods of electronic text display on a PDA were compared: paragraph mode, sentence mode, horizontal scrolling mode, and rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). Dependent measures were reading comprehension, reading time, and amount of recursion (re-reading). Display mode failed to reveal a statistically significant difference in reading comprehension. Display mode significantly affected reading time though, with the paragraph mode read fastest. Recursion varied widely between participants, but was most prevalent in the least familiar, RSVP and scrolling modes. Participant surveys overwhelmingly favored the sentence mode, and explanations for these and the statistical test findings are discussed. Implications for future technology include consideration of the sentence mode as the most efficient and user-friendly display mode for small screen devices.Subjects--Topical Terms:
