Abstract

Using Tabossi and Johnson-Laird's technique to test whether 8- to 10-yr.-old children with good and poor reading comprehension differ in use of context while they read, those with good reading comprehension is one study and adults in another showed an inhibitory effect for incongruent context, unaccompanied by a facilitative effect of congruent context. The poor comprehenders in Grade 2 showed a facilitative effect of congruent, context-dependent context.
