In this paper, we investigate the use of the Mouse Tracking for Reading (MoTR) method for a sample of Romanian texts. MoTR is a novel measurement tool that is meant to collect word-by-word reading times. In a typical MoTR trial, the text is blurred, except for a small area around the mouse pointer and the participants must move the mouse to reveal and read the text. In the current experiment, participants read such texts and afterwords answered comprehension questions, aiming to evaluate reading behavior and cognitive engagement. Mouse movement is recorded and analyzed to evaluate attention distribution across a sentence, providing insights into incremental language processing. Based on all the information gathered, the study confirms the feasibility of this method in a controlled setting and emphasizes MoTR’s potential as an accessible and naturalistic approach for studying text comprehension.
