Application of Structure-of-Intellect and Psycholinguistic Concepts to Reading Comprehensibility Measurement.
Abstract
Concepts and considerations relative to the measurement of textual readability/comprehensibility through psycholinguistics and through intellective variables are presented. Two experiments, each investigating the potential of each of these areas for readability/comprehensibility measurement, are described and the results of these experiments are given. The results supported a contention favoring the potential of psycholinguistics and intellective concepts for readability/comprehensibility measurement. Concepts are presented for automating the measurements described.
