# Studies exploring disfluency effect and influence of fonts on memory
Designed and conducted by: Mary Dyson and David Březina
This repo contains materials for two studies we have conducted in the first half of 2018 with the goal to explore a disfluency effect and influence of fonts and their legibility on memory.

## Study reports
We described the studies and some of the results in a conference presentation at the [ICTVC 7 conference](https://ictvc.org/2019/en/) in Patras in June 2019. Find brief reports about the studies on Design Regression mini-journal:
- [Exploring disfluency: Are designers too sensitive to harder-to-read typefaces?](http://www.designregression.com/report/exploring-disfluency-are-designers-too-sensitive-to-harder-to-read-typefaces) (mostly about study 1)
- [The sequel to exploring disfluency: Do we remember the visual appearance of words?](https://designregression.com/research/the-sequel-to-exploring-disfluency-do-we-remember-the-visual-appearance-of-words) (mostly about study 2)
## Contents of this repo
This repo includes:
- the website we used to collect participants’ responses
- the data/responses collected
- Jupyter notebooks used to process the data and provide descriptive statistics
We have used other software to analyze the data.
### Website
The website was served using GitHub Pages directly from this repo. The code is saved in `docs/`. You can preview it by visiting [https://mrbrezina.github.io/disfluency-study/](https://mrbrezina.github.io/disfluency-study/) (the responses will not get saved).
The website uses Javascript to navigate between inidividual steps of the study and request responses from participants. The responses from each participant were saved using a [GetForm](https://getform.io) service.
The samples (words and non-words set in one of two studied fonts) are generated using a Python script (see `samples/generate-samples.py`) based on the `data/samples-databases`.
### Data
For the databases of words and non-words, see `data/samples-databases`.
The “raw“ data collected from the website (via GetForm) before any processing is saved in `data/raw/` folder. The processed data is stored in `data/data.csv` and `data/data_aggregated.csv`. For description of the data format, see the [data-processing notebook](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/MrBrezina/disfluency-study/blob/master/notebooks/1%20Process%20raw%20data.ipynb).
### Jupyter notebooks
Jupyter notebooks used to process and analyze the data are stored in the `notebooks/` folder.
