Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Strength shows a strong positive correlation with second-pass reading time (r = 0.645). → Catrysse 2025 q3 i? Betweenness, harmonic centrality and local clustering coefficient are not (or only weakly) correlated with first-pass and second-pass duration measures, indicating they capture integration aspects duration measures cannot. → Catrysse 2025

q3 · i3 · associational · r1

Correlational analysis of eye-tracking data from 31 higher education freshmen reading three expository texts; Table 3 reports strength–second-pass r = 0.645, a "strong positive correlation between strength and second-pass reading time", while betweenness correlations were near zero (e.g., 0.022).

"There is a strong positive correlation between strength and second-pass reading time. Betweenness is not correlated with first-pass forward reading time, first-pass rereading time, or second-pass reading time."
