title = "The effect of subject familiarity on comprehension and eye movements during reading",
abstract = "We investigate factors affecting reading and overall comprehension of the underlying meaning and concepts within a piece of text using eye movements. Our objective is to identify eye movement measures that will predict reading comprehension, and intend to apply them in eLearning to create dynamic learning environments that can use eye movement to detect reader comprehension. We found that the self-reported familiarity of readers with the subject of documents affects their reading behaviour but not their total comprehension score, and found that we could identify answer-seeking behaviour and a measure of their actual familiarity with the text content using eye gaze.",
