A clinical psychologist prepares digital materials for patients with visual processing disorders. Which outcome occurs when the font's character width is significantly compressed without adjusting letter spacing?

💡 Explanation

When character width is compressed without adjusting letter spacing, crowding occurs, making it difficult to distinguish individual letters, because the crowding negatively affects visual acuity and perceptual span. Therefore, reading fluency and comprehension are reduced, rather than improved visual processing, which would occur with increased spacing.
