| Research Abstract |
In this project,I addressed two questions:(1) how the visual span for letter recognition is influenced by vertical and horizontal spatial layouts.(2) which of the two spaial layout facilitates reading speed. I found that the visual span was larger in the horizontal layout than in the vertical layout for both Janaese and Americasns. I also found that there was no difference between the two spatial layouts in reading speed.
This project added the study of beauty of Japanese chariography. The effects of strokes on the beauty w3as examined by constructing new measurement scales.
