Perceptual Disfluency Through Hard-to-Read Fonts. Is There a Satisfactory Explanation? Mary C. Dyson Download (116.73 kB) Abstract. Research on perceptual disfluency has demonstrated an apparent memory advantage for hard-to-read (less legible) text. This paper explores the evidence, outlines alternative theories, and discusses the locus of the effect. In particular, accounts which propose a metacognitive explanation are contrasted with those which focus on earlier levels in the reading process: letter and word recognition. The reviewed studies illustrate the unreliability of perceptual disfluency effects and confirm the need for further exploration of boundary conditions and moderating factors.
