Concurrent Validity of Cloze as a Measure of Intersentential Comprehension.
McKenna, Michael C.; Layton, Kent
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p372-77 Jun 1990
The validity of cloze as a measure of intersentential comprehension (across-sentence information integration) was studied with 281 fifth graders by comparing it with a second measure expressly designed to assess such comprehension. Results suggest that cloze scores may reflect intersentential comprehension sufficiently to warrant their continued use in assessment. (SLD)
