By analyzing the content of the video and combining with the results of the memory test, the results showed that participants' subtitle viewing behavior had certain commonality, that was, participants paid more attention to the position with subtitles, and the subtitle viewing behavior was affected by the screen content; moreover, the duration time of the subtitles was positively related to video journalism content memory.
