Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] From the perspective of knowledge organization, this study explores the influence of two different organization forms on the reading effect of learning materials, and provides references for the research and application of knowledge representation in subsequent reading materials. [Method/Process] Using a between-group experiment design, 26 subjects participated two types of reading tests, a reading search task and a memory task, respectively. The differences were compared by reading time, the number of correct questions and subjective preference of subjects. [Result/Conclusion] The results show that there is no significant difference in the performance of the subjects in the search task, but in the memory task, the reading effect of tree-structure organization form is significantly better than traditional linear paragraphs. In addition, the merits of the tree-structured materials in the evaluation of subjects’ subjective preferences are more, such as clear logic, easy to remember, and so on.
