Abstract

To determine whether audiobooks are a reasonable alternative to reading written text we will recruit 200 undergraduates to measure comprehension of easy versus difficult texts after listening or reading a text. We predict comprehension for those listening will be similar for easier text but decrease for more difficult text.
