Implication

Eye-tracking analysis reveals subtitle speed affects L2 processing more than L1 in English subtitles, suggesting individual differences impact understanding.

Key Points

L2 speakers faced more difficulty with faster subtitles, leading to lower recall accuracy, and skipped fewer words than L1 speakers.
Eye-tracking measured early and late stages of reading, highlighting how subtitle speed impacted engagement and comprehension.
Participants included 83 viewers, split between L1 and L2 speakers, while they watched English-language videos with subtitles.
Age, working memory, and familiarity with subtitles also influenced the viewing process, shedding light on individual differences.
