readingSpeed_nonCorrected: Reading speed calculation not corrected for the number of errors

Description

This function calculates reading speed (in words per minute) using reading time (in seconds) only. This calculation provides a simplified value of reading speed, that does not take into account the number of misread words.

Usage

readingSpeed_nonCorrected(data, reading_time)

Value

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

Arguments

data

The name of your dataframe

reading_time

The variable that contains the reading time for each sentence

Notes

This function gives a less precise reading speed measurement than readingSpeed. Unless you know what you are doing, consider using readingSpeed instead of this function.

Examples

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

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

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