Revolutions in the emergence of discourse processes research
How Specific Are Learning Disabilities
Despite historical emphasis on “specific” learning disabilities (SLDs), academic skills are strongly correlated across the curriculum. Thus, one can ask how specific SLDs truly are. To answer this question, we used bifactor models to identify variance shared across academic domains (academic g), as well as variance unique to reading, mathematics, and writing. Participants were 686 children ages 8 to 16. Although the sample was overselected for le…
Psychology of Inferences
Genetic and environmental influences on writing and their relations to language and reading
Predicting word reading and comprehension with executive function and speed measures across development: A latent variable analysis.
The present study explored whether different executive control and speed measures (working memory, inhibition, processing speed, and naming speed) independently predict individual differences in word reading and reading comprehension. Although previous studies suggest these cognitive constructs are important for reading, the authors analyze the constructs simultaneously to test whether each is a unique predictor. Latent variables from 483 partici…
How word decoding skill impacts text memory: The centrality deficit and how domain knowledge can compensate
Reading Comprehension Tests Vary in the Skills They Assess: Differential Dependence on Decoding and Oral Comprehension
Comprehension tests are often used interchangeably, suggesting an implicit assumption that they are all measuring the same thing. We examine the validity of this assumption by comparing some of the most popular reading comprehension measures used in research and clinical practice in the United States: the Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT), the two assessments (retellings and comprehension questions) from the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI), the W…
Perspective Effects on Online Text Processing
The effect of a reading perspective on online text processing was studied by recording readers' eye movements during reading. Participants read an expository text about 4 countries with the goal of deciding whether one of the countries, designated by the experimenter as the reading perspective, would be a good new place of residence. The results showed better memory for perspective-relevant information and longer fixation times on perspective-rel…
Assessing the occurrence of elaborative inferences: Lexical decision versus naming
The role of encoding and retrieval processes in the recall of text
This study is a modified replication of a study by Anderson and Pichert (1978). Subjects read three stories, taking a particular perspective for each, recalled each story from that perspective and, either immediately or after 1 week, recalled the stories again from a new perspective. Consistent with Anderson and Pichert's findings, subjects in the immediate condition showed a shift in recall as a function of retrieval perspective. However, subjec…

The effects of causal cohesion on comprehension and memory
