A note on measuring "understandability."

Abstract

A measure of understandability is proposed as a supplement to reading ease measures such as the Flesch. In one application 9 sets of standard psychological test directions, for which Reading Ease scores were computed, were rated by groups of Navy Aviation Cadets. It would appear that RE scores and understandability ratings were not measuring the same thing. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
