Abstract

The authors of this paper have collected data on the effects of single, double and triple sentence period spacing on reading. This group of authors are a part of a student led research methods team that has conducted research on sentence period spacing and they have found significant difference with reading text that are double spaced. We have identified a need to assess the implications of sentence period spacing on text presented using mobile devices. This is important because of the new wave of mobile innovations, such as Laptops, Kindles, iPads and others.
