    Repeated reading enhances reading speed and comprehension without sacrificing analytical depth. Familiarity with text improves both word recognition and understanding of complex sentence structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Reading Science
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Reading fluency and comprehension are critical cognitive skills.
    • The impact of repeated text exposure on reading processes is not fully understood.
    • Investigating how familiarity affects different levels of text analysis is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine how text processing changes across multiple reading encounters.
    • To determine if increased reading speed with familiarity comes at the cost of analytical depth.
    • To investigate the effect of familiarity on higher-level syntactic and semantic processing.

    Main Methods:

    • Five experiments involved participants reading the same text across multiple encounters.
    • Reading speed and error detection (nonword, word, syntactic-semantic violations) were measured.

  • Variations in text presentation (typescript changes) were introduced to control for visual priming.

    • Main Results:

    • Reading speed systematically increased with repeated encounters.
    • Error detection abilities, including nonword and higher-level syntactic-semantic violations, remained intact or improved.
    • Familiarity facilitated the detection of word and higher-level errors, indicating enhanced comprehension.

    Conclusions:

    • Prior experience with a text improves reading speed without compromising the analysis of printed words or message comprehension.
    • Familiarity enhances both perceptual and conceptual processing during reading.
    • Reading fluency and deep understanding can co-develop with repeated text exposure.
