The Role of Reading Strategies in the Screen Inferiority Effect

EasyChair Preprint no. 3813

14 pagesDate: July 10, 2020

Abstract

We explored whether self-explanation strategies influence the “screen inferiority effect” (superior comprehension after reading on paper compared to digital media). Participants read a text on paper or on a computer monitor, and received instructions to self-explain or to read for comprehension. On a subsequent comprehension test we observed a screen inferiority effect, but only in the self-explanation condition. Analyses of processing times, metacognitive judgments, and constructed responses are presented to help explain these results.

Keyphrases: Metacomprehension, Screen Inferiority, self-explanation
