Proof-reading on either a cathode ray tube visual display unit (VDU) of average quality or on conventional paper typescript was carried out for four 50-min sessions, two in each condition. The method of signalling errors in the script was identical in each case: verbally and by line reference. VDU scripts were presented in a standard Wordstar format; paper text was a normal print-out of that script. With the VDU as compared to paper, more proof-reading errors were missed, fewer pages were read, and there was a greater accumulation of fatigue during the reading session as indexed by an increase in the number of errors missed. It is suggested that (i) material be printed for proof-reading, and (ii) the present technique be used for comparison of different VDUs for speed and accuracy of reading and resistance to fatigue. |
