在多媒体刺激（例如，漫画），读者必须遵循其中文本和图像都提供信息的叙述，并且艺术家可能使用更不规则的布局，这些布局仍然必须正确遵循。虽然以前的工作已经发现，面板的外部结构（轮廓）是漫画中导航决策的主要贡献者，但其他研究表明，面板内容可以影响阅读顺序。目前的研究使用眼动追踪来进一步研究这些贡献。实验一比较了六种布局变化下的阅读行为。外部结构的影响被复制，但文本位置的效果也被发现一个布局类型。实验2专注于这种特殊布局的变化，操纵关键面板内的文本位置。样本组含量对所有变化的影响一致。虽然大多数导航决策是使用外部结构做出的，但在解决模糊的布局时，内容成为关键。
In multimedia stimuli (e.g., comics), the reader must follow a narrative in which text and image both contribute information, and artists may use more irregular layouts which must still be followed correctly. While previous work has found that the external structure (outlines) of panels is a major contributor to navigation decisions in comics, other studies have shown that panel content can affect reading order. The present studies use eye‐tracking to investigate these contributions further. In Experiment 1, the reading behaviors on six layout variations were compared. The influence of the external structure was replicated, but an effect of text location was also found for one layout type. Experiment 2 focused on variations of this particular layout, manipulating the location of text within critical panels. Panel content was a consistent effect for all variations. While most navigation decisions are made using the external structure, content becomes key when resolving ambiguous layouts.
