readingSpeed: Reading speed calculation corrected for the number of errors

In mnreadR: MNREAD Parameters Estimation and Curve Plotting

Reading speed calculation corrected for the number of errors

Description

This function calculates reading speed (in words per minute) for each sentence tested. This calculation takes into account the number of misread words and gives a more precise reading speed measurement than readingSpeed_nonCorrected.

Usage

readingSpeed(data, reading_time, errors)

Arguments

data	The name of your dataframe
reading_time	The variable that contains the reading time for each sentence
errors	The variable that contains the number of errors for each sentence

Value

The function returns the original dataframe with an added variable called "reading_speed" that contains reading speed (in words/min) for each sentence tested.

Notes

For general purposes, this method of reading speed calculation should be used preferentially over the less precise readingSpeed_nonCorrected.

readingSpeed_nonCorrected for reading speed non corrected for errors

Examples

# inspect the strucutre of the dataframe
head(data_low_vision, 10)

# run the reading speed calculation
data_low_vision_new <- readingSpeed(data_low_vision, rt, err)

# inspect the structure of the newly created dataframe
head(data_low_vision_new, 10)
