Summary Reading is a cognitive activity that involves engaging with text and drawing on various information sources to achieve comprehension. To fully understand the nature of the reading process, it is essential to explore how the cognitive system functions. This study examines the effects of reading printed versus digital texts on the reading process and performance. Specifically, it compares reading time (speed) for both mediums by measuring response time and the speed of answering questions related to the deeper meaning of the text. Furthermore, the participants’ performance in answering these questions was assessed. The study also investigates whether factors such as age, gender, reading preference, and reading frequency (habit) influence reading speed, response time, and overall performance. The results indicate that participants reading printed texts performed better and were more successful in comprehending the material. Additionally, the findings reveal no significant differences based on age or gender, although reading preference and frequency did impact reading performance.
