- Hat das Lesen poetischer und literarischer Sprache eine distinktive Blickbewegungs-Signatur?
Das Forschungsprojekt untersucht die Prozessierung ästhetisch relevanter Sprachmerkmale beim Lesen von Gedichten und literarischen Erzählungen. Ziel des Projekts ist es, mit den Mitteln der Blickbewegungsanalyse das Zusammenwirken der visuellen, ...
- Aesthetic Responsiveness and Engagement Assessment (AREA): Psychometrische Analyse und Prüfung der Messinvarianz in Stichproben aus den USA und Deutschland
Die Annahme, dass die meisten Personen eine Disposition zu bewegendem ästhetischem Erleben haben, ist allgemein akzeptiert, wobei Personen sich darin unterscheiden können, auf welche spezifischen Reize sie positive ästhetische Reaktionen ...
- Leseprozessregularität
Im Rahmen dieses Projekts wird untersucht, wie Textverständnis durch statistische Masse von Leseprozessen vorhergesagt werden kann. Kompetentes Lesen ist i.d.R. durch schnelle Informationsverarbeitung und eine systematische Kopplung des ...
