The author's interpretive reasoning in the discussion section, not a directly tested result. The article states this "needs more research and investigation to be firmly confirmed."
"good readers actually make more use of context in their reading, while struggling readers make more use of pictures. So, it can be induced that comic pictures can help slow readers to reach the good readers' reading pace more effectively."
