Abstract
Adaptive learning is one of the important topics of digital learning. Many studies examined how to design suitable courses for learners. However, the previous studies emphasized on the assessment of the ability in terms of words or language, and less on the assessment of graphic ability. This study focuses on the correlation between word and graphic abilities (e.g. faces), and collected data on the word recognition of high and low frequency, and the cofigural task for 21 college students. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the reaction times of the word recognition task and the cofigural task. Specifically, the amount of literacy has a negative correlation with the reaction time of the configural task. Word acquisition seems that there is an opposite effect on learner face processing. The present study could be used as the reference for the courses of adaptive learning about non-verbal materials.
