Hard-to-Read Fonts Improve Learning
arkenian writes "Difficult-to-read fonts make for better learning, according to scientists. The finding is about to be published in the international journal Cognition. Researchers at Princeton University employed volunteers to learn made-up information about different types of aliens — and found that those reading harder fonts recalled more when tested 15 minutes later. The article goes on to note a second test in a real school environment: 'Keen to see if their findings actually worked in practice, the Princeton University team then tested their results on 222 students aged between 15 and 18 at a secondary school in Chesterfield, Ohio.'... 'Students given the harder-to-read materials scored higher in their classroom assessments than those in the control group. This was the case across a range of subjects — from English, to Physics to History.'"
no wonder linux nerds learn heaps - linux fonts are the smallest worst defined fonts in the computing world.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
Indeed I am. Fuck the kikes. Posting anonymously for obvious reasons, as slashdot has been taken over by that bignosed cunt kdawson and he would probably sue me.
