Abstract

While reading silently, we process only the visual information of the text. Conversely,<br>while reading texts orally, we process the visually presented text and produce the au-<br>ditory information of the text through articulatory movement. These activities are<br> assumed to facilitate the memory and comprehension of textual information. Although<br> we cannot use such auditory nor motor information while reading silently, there is little<br> difference between the degree of comprehension based on silent and oral reading for<br> adult readers. The purpose of this study is to explain how we compensate the loss of<br> multisensory process during silent reading by comparing the visual processing process<br> during silent and oral reading. In Experiment 1, we measured the eye-movement dur-<br>ing reading garden-path and normal sentences silently and orally. In Experiment 2,<br>we compared the eye-movement during reading more common paragraph silently and<br> orally. The results showed that silent reading took shorter time for comprehension than<br> oral reading, and readers had more visual fixation points and read back frequently dur-<br>ing reading silently than orally. These reading strategies during silent reading seemed<br> to compensate the loss of multisensory process and support the text comprehension.
