Effects Of Print Type On The Readability Of Computer Displays By Older And Younger Adults

Abstract

The present research investigated the readability of computer text using various combinations of fonts, sizes, and weights of print. Older and younger adult's reading speeds and error rates for the different print types were compared. The overall findings of the study indicate significant differences in reading speed and error rates for the print characteristics investigated. Furthermore, the effects of these print characteristics varied for individuals of different age groups. Implications of these findings for the design of computer text for older adults are discussed.
