Subclaims¶

q3 i? Longer rereading time of the target word was positively associated with consistency judgement accuracy in inconsistent texts (b = 0.96, t = 7.47, p <.001) with no such effect for consistent texts (b = -0.06, p =.726). → Catharina Tibken 2025 q3 i? Higher revisit probability of the target word in inconsistent texts was significantly associated with higher consistency judgement accuracy (b = 1.47, t = 8.36, p <.001) with no such effect for consistent texts (b = -0.08, p =.731). → Catharina Tibken 2025 (2)

Evidence¶

Catharina Tibken 2025¶

Catharina Tibken, Simon P. Tiffin-Richards. (2025). Reading behavior as an indicator of comprehension monitoring when reading expository texts. Metacognition and Learning. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11409-025-09440-2

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Eye-tracking experiment with 96 adults reading 20 short expository texts; GLMM simple-slopes analysis of rereading time at the target word. The article reports that "longer rereading time of the target word was positively associated with consistency judgment accuracy in inconsistent texts" with no effect for consistent texts.

"A longer rereading time of the target word was positively associated with consistency judgment accuracy in inconsistent texts (b = 0.96, SE = 0.18, t = 7.47, p <.001), while there was no such effect for consistent texts (b = -0.06, SE = 0.17, t = -0.35, p =.726)."

q3 · i? · causal · r?

Same eye-tracking experiment, GLMM simple-slopes analysis of revisit probability at the target word. The article reports "a higher revisit probability of the target word in inconsistent texts was significantly associated with higher consistency judgement accuracy" with no effect for consistent texts.

"Similarly, a higher revisit probability of the target word in inconsistent texts was significantly associated with higher consistency judgement accuracy (b = 1.47, SE = 0.18, t = 8.36, p <.001), while there was no such effect for consistent texts (b = -0.08, SE = 0.23, t = -0.34, p =.731)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Consistency condition was significant in all GLMM models, with higher consistency judgement accuracy for consistent than inconsistent texts
• First-pass reading measures at the target word showed no main effect on inconsistency identification, and lookbacks from the target word were associated with lower accuracy in consistent texts
• Overall reading time did not differ between consistent and inconsistent texts, but participants judged consistent texts more accurately (d = 0.84), indicating inconsistencies were more often overlooked than falsely perceived
• Reanalysis of the pre-target text (rereading time and revisit frequency) interacted significantly with consistency condition in predicting consistency judgement accuracy
