垂直阅读英文文本的排列格式有三种：垂直排列的直立字母（选取框）和顺时针或逆时针旋转 90° 的水平文本。先前的研究表明，所有三种垂直格式的阅读速度都比水平文本慢，其中选取框的速度最慢。有人提出，视觉跨度的大小（在不移动眼睛的情况下高精度识别的字母数量）是限制阅读速度的视觉因素。我们预测，视觉跨度尺寸的减小将与三种垂直格式的阅读速度变慢相关。我们用大写和小写字母测试了这个预测。阅读性能使用两种演示方法进行测量：RSVP（快速串行视觉演示）和抽认卡（四行文本块）。平均而言，水平文本的阅读速度比字幕文本快 139%，比旋转文本快 81%。视觉跨度的大小与小写和大写字母以及 RSVP 和抽认卡阅读的阅读速度变化高度相关。我们的结果与以下观点一致：垂直文本阅读速度较慢是由于垂直阅读的视觉跨度减小所致。
There are three formats for arranging English text for vertical reading—upright letters arranged vertically (marquee), and horizontal text rotated 90° clockwise or counterclockwise. Previous research has shown that reading is slower for all three vertical formats than for horizontal text, with marquee being slowest. It has been proposed that the size of the visual span—the number of letters recognized with high accuracy without moving the eyes—is a visual factor limiting reading speed. We predicted that reduced visual-span size would be correlated with the slower reading for the three vertical formats. We tested this prediction with uppercase and lowercase letters. Reading performance was measured using two presentation methods: RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) and flashcard (a block of text on four lines). On average, reading speed for horizontal text was 139% faster than marquee text and 81% faster than the rotated texts. Size of the visual span was highly correlated with changes in reading speed for both lowercase and uppercase letters and for both RSVP and flashcard reading. Our results are consistent with the view that slower reading of vertical text is due to a decrease in the size of the visual span for vertical reading.
