Description

We proposed a method to evaluate the document layout using nonsense syllables. In experiment 1, we measured impression of "readability" of nonsense syllables, systematically varying amount of letters and layout. In experiment 2, the same layouts filled by ordinary text were evaluated. Results showed that the evaluation of layout before reading matched that after reading. In experiment 3 layouts filled by figures were evaluated. Impressions of three types of layout were also compared. As a result, highly evaluated layout with text got better impression than in other layouts, but it seemed crowding. Moreover, the impression of layouts not-highly evaluated did not depend on the stimuli which filled the space, if the stimuli were letters; the layout using figures were overestimated. Thus, if you do not complete the text but insert nonsense syllables, you can consistently expect the impression of layout.
