Using Lists To Improve Text Access: The Role of Layout in Reading.

Seki, Yusaku

Visible Language, v34 n3 p280-95 Oct 2000

Finds layout of a list affects the way it is read and understood; recall for separately arranged lists in text was better than that for continuously arranged lists, and notes a difference in reading patterns between the two layouts; and a separated list allowed readers to reread the points selectively, while a continuous list made readers reread the text sequentially.
