The Impact of Phonological-Awareness and Rapid-Reading Training on the Reading Skills of Adolescent and Adult Neoliterates
The Prediction of College Course Performance From Reading Comprehension Performance
Recent theories of comprehension and learning have grown so similar that it is difficult to tell one from another. An implication of this similarity is that it should be possible to devise one type of comprehension test that can predict learning performance in general and another type of comprehension test that can predict specific types of learning. Two experiments are reported that confirm these implications. In Experiment 1, comprehension test…
A new technique for measuring listening and reading literacy in developing countries
Superior Reliability and Validity for a New Form of the Sentence Verification Technique for Measuring Comprehension
A study was conducted to evaluate a new form of the Sentence Verification Technique (SVT) of measuring comprehension. The new form, called the Meaning Identification Technique (MIT), was designed to retain the property of requiring examinees to evaluate the meaning of the text while at the same time increasing test reliability and validity. One-hundred-three students from an undergraduate educational psychology class were administered a reading c…
Using the Sentence Verification Technique To Assess the Comprehension of Technical Text as a Function of Subject Matter Expertise
We report four studies that are concerned with the construct validity of the Sentence Verification Technique (SVT) as a measure of reading comprehension. The studies proceed from the assumption that readers with greater subject matter expertise should comprehend technical text in their area of expertise better than readers with less subject matter expertise. Experiment 1 had graduate students in psychology, advanced undergraduate psychology major…
Memory Effects for Test-Like-Events during Acquisition of Foreign Language Vocabulary
3 groups of Ss learned a 20-item Turkish-English vocabulary list under the following conditions: Group T was instructed to use a self-test procedure while learning the list and to study the list until they felt they had mastered all of the words. Group S was given the same amount of time to learn the list as was Group T bat studied the list under conditions which made it difficult to use a self-test technique. Group SM studied the list under the …
