Abstract

Abstract. Comprehensibility (readability) is understood as the ease with which a certain reader can conduct the processes needed to comprehend a certain text in a certain situation. Comprehensibility is a special form of fluency and has been shown to have a considerable influence on comprehension. Based on fluency theory and the four-phase model of interest development, hypotheses are derived regarding the positive influence of comprehensibility on comprehension, interestingness, and interest. A study with N = 302 university students and 15 texts showed substantial effects of comprehensibility on all dependent variables, regardless of which of three instruments was used to assess comprehensibility: one of two comprehensibility questionnaires or the LIX readability formula. The results highlight the importance of fluency for the design of learning materials.
可理解性对兴趣和理解的影响
摘要可理解性(可读性)被理解为特定读者在特定情况下进行理解特定文本所需过程的难易程度。可理解性是流利性的一种特殊形式,已被证明对理解有相当大的影响。基于流利性理论和兴趣发展的四阶段模型,提出了可理解性对理解性、兴趣性和兴趣的积极影响的假设。一项对N = 302名大学生和15篇文章的研究显示,可理解性对所有因变量都有实质性影响,无论使用三种工具中的哪一种来评估可理解性:两种可理解性问卷中的一种或LIX可读性公式。研究结果强调了流畅性对学习材料设计的重要性。
