Effect of Word Imagery on Reading Performance as a Function of Reader Ability
Jorm, Anthony F.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 1, 46-54, Feb 77
In three experiments on the effects of word imagery, length, and frequency on reading difficulty, high-frequency words were found to be easier to read for both good and poor readers. High-imagery words were easier to read for poor readers only. Word length had little effect on reading difficulty for either group. (Author/MV)
