Are General Resource Notions Still Viable in Reading Research?
Walczyk, Jeffrey J.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n1 p127-35 Mar 1993
The relationship between reading subcomponent efficiency and comprehension processes in terms of resource competition was studied in 2 experiments with 138 undergraduates and college-age volunteers. Results suggest competition for limited attentional resources when readers follow text presented at a preset rate, supporting a compensatory-encoding theory of reading. (SLD)
