Issues concerning the Acquisition of Knowledge: Effects of Vocabulary Training on Reading Comprehension.
Mezynski, Karen
Review of Educational Research, v53 n2 p253-79 Sum 1983

Methodological and instructional differences across studies are examined in an attempt to account for the different results. (Author/PN)
