| Research Abstract |
Suppose that you grab an instructional manual, you may glance over some of the pages to determine whether it looks interesting enough to read carefully. My past study demonstrated that illustrations enhance readers' motivation in the first few seconds in text comprehension. In this study, I demonstrated that (1) captions, illustrations, and pictures enhanced motivation, (2) illustrations increase the subjective efficiency, which enhanced motivation to read, and (3) participants understand meanings of illustration even in the first two seconds.
