| Abstract(in English) | There have been many studies on letter shapes and memorability, and it is clear that letter shapes with low readability increase memorability. We have conducted experiments focusing on letter shapes and text comprehension because we believe that not only memory but also comprehension is important for learning. However, we have not been able to clarify the effects of letter shapes because we presented multiple letter shapes to a single participant in our experiments. In addition, we had not been able to analyze how much time was spent on reading comprehension. In this study, we decided to fix the shape of letters presented to one participant and asked him or her to answer correct or incorrect reading comprehension questions using only one of three types of letters: Gothic, Mincho, and two types of handwritten letters on a Web system developed for the experiment. The results of the experiment showed the opposite of what was expected, that is, the difficult-to-read letter shapes decreased the percentage of correct answers in the reading comprehension questions. In addition, an analysis of the order in which the questions were presented in the first half and the second half revealed that the average percentage of correct answers varied depending on the letter shape in the second half, and that the average answering time increased in the second half. |
