In this study, participants read texts in German and afterwards answer comprehension questions. The participants take part in four sessions, two of which are Eye-Tracking and the remaining two are Self-Paced-Reading. During Eye-Tracking eye movements are being tracked, while the participant’s face is not. During Self-Paced-Reading participants can determine their own reading speed by moving through the text by pressing the space bar. Before the readings, participants complete a series of tests, such as IQ, memory, and language tests.
