Can Imagery Training Help Children Who Have Comprehension Problems?

Oakhill, Jane; Patel, Sima

Journal of Research in Reading, v14 n2 p106-15 Sep 1991

Explores whether training in mental imagery can improve text comprehension in good and poor nine-year-old comprehenders. Finds that a three-session program of training in imagery benefited the poor, but not the good, comprehenders. Discusses results in relation to possible causes of children's comprehension difficulties. (MG)
