It is a fascinating subject, and one where we've only really scratched the surface in terms of understanding. I was interested in investigating chunking techniques to automatically present information in blocks as an aid for people with cognitive difficulties, but to do so effectively would require the aid of a psychologist. It would also be interesting to know if the difference in reading behaviour between online and offline material held true for people with cognitive difficulties. > I'd like very much to have such an easy tool to play with in italian > language... ;-) If you have rules in mind you would like to test, I would be happy to help you develop a program.
