Dark-Interval-Threshold, Illumination Level and Children's Reading Performance.
Riding, R. J.; Pugh, J. C.
Journal of Research in Reading, v10 n1 p22-28 Feb 1987
Indicates a reasonable range of individual differences in the dark interval threshold (DIT). Reveals a significant interaction between DIT and illumination level in their effect on reading accuracy. Finds that children with a short DIT read more accurately in high rather than low illumination and that this performance was reversed for long DIT subjects. (JD)
