Individual Differences in the Efficiency of Word Recognition.
Herdman, Chris M.; LeFevre, Jo-Anne
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n1 p95-102 Mar 1992
The hypothesis that attentional demands of word recognition covary with other measures of reading efficiency was tested with 27 undergraduates performing naming and probe-detection tasks singly and in combination. Findings support the assumption that attentional demands of basic reading are a source of differences in reading skill. (SLD)
