Passage Type x Length of Sentence x Position on Page interaction for the importance ratings of the unlinked sentences in Experiment 1.
Each box on the graph represents the different positions a sentence can sit on the page, from top to bottom (left to right on the graph). A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.

Length of Sentence x Position on Page interaction for the linked passages in Experiment 1.
The lines on the graph represent the different positions a sentence can sit on the page. A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.
Fig 3.
Sentence Contains Links x Position on Page interaction for the linked passages in Experiment 1.
The lines on the graph whether the sentence contains links (dashed line) or not (solid line). A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.
Fig 4.
Length of Sentence x Position on Page interaction for all sentences that contain links in Experiment 1.
The lines on the graph represent the different positions a sentence can sit on the page. A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.
Fig 5.
Length of Sentence x Position on Page x Number of Links interaction for all sentences that contain links in Experiment 1.
The lines on the graph represent the number of links a sentence contains. Each box on the graph represents the different lengths of sentence from shortest to longest (left to right on the graph). A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.

Number of Links x Position on Page x Sentence Length interaction for all sentences that contain links in Experiment 1.
The lines on the graph represent the different positions a sentence can sit on the page. A 95-percent confidence interval (the grey shaded region) is drawn around the estimated effect.
