Individual Differences in Contextual Facilitation: Evidence from Dyslexia and Poor Reading Comprehension.
Nation, Kate; Snowling, Margaret J.
Child Development, v69 n4 p996-1011 Aug 1998
Two studies examined individual differences in 7- to 10-year-olds' contextual facilitation. Findings indicated that poor readers showed more contextual facilitation than good readers but the relative context benefit was greater for good readers. Comprehension was a better predictor of contextual facilitation that decoding. Dyslexics showed greater contextual facilitation than normal readers, who showed more priming than poor comprehenders.
