effects of fake titles on student comprehension of information delivered in print. The paper
places the results in the context of six published articles reporting on similar studies. Cero, Null
and Nada (2006); Niemand and Senki (2008); and Jemand (2010) shared methodology and
reported similar results. These are contrasted to the remaining three articles, which detailed
differing techniques and disparate results. This paper examines all results in the context of
Nogen and Keegi’s 2005 review of similar studies to conclude that further research is needed to
fully understand the effect of fake titles on college student comprehension.
