Colors, colored overlays, and reading skills
In this article, we are concerned with the role of colors in reading written texts. It has been argued that colored overlays applied above written texts positively influence both reading fluency and reading speed. These effects would be particularly evident for those individuals affected by the so called Meares-Irlen syndrome, i.e., who experience eyestrain and/or visual distortions - e.g., col...
متن کاملIncremental Speech Translation: A Layered Chart Approach
Human speech understanding works incrementally. We begin to process acoustic input before the speaker's utterance has ended. A system capable of performing sophisticated communication in a natural dialogue or simultaneous interpreting, has to work incrementally, too. The architecture of such a system should be modular, uniform and integrated. We present an architectural framework that suits the...
متن کاملUsing Overlays to Support Context Awareness
A subset of context awareness is network context information, which requires distributed monitoring and information gathering. We propose the use of application level overlays, utilising hierarchical clustering techniques, as the infrastructure for supporting and providing network context information. Our proposition is supported by results from previous work in the development and deployment o...
متن کاملIrlen colored overlays do not alleviate reading difficulties.
OBJECTIVES To test the efficacy of Irlen colored overlays for alleviating reading difficulties ostensibly caused by Irlen syndrome, a proposed perceptual disorder with controversial diagnostic status. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Sixty-one schoolchildren (aged 7-12 years) with reading difficulties were assessed by an Irlen diagnostician. We used a within-subject study design to examine difference...
متن کاملProlonged use of coloured overlays for classroom reading.
Ninety-three children in a primary school and 59 children in two first-year classes of a secondary school were asked individually to observe a paragraph of random letters arranged to resemble text, and to compare the perceptual effects on its clarity of coloured plastic sheets overlaid on the text. A total of 29 colours were compared using 10 coloured plastic sheets and 19 pairwise combinations...
