Individual Differences in Distraction by Pictures in a Reading Situation.
Willows, Dale M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n5 p837-47 Oct 1978
Good, normal, and poor third grade readers were required to read easy, moderate, and difficult one-syllable nouns under three conditions: control condition with no pictures, identifying-picture condition, and unrelated-picture condition. Reading performance of poor readers was influenced by pictures under all conditions. Individual differences were also observed. (Author/RD)
