Monitoring of Passage Inconsistency among Poor Comprehenders: A Preliminary Test of the "Piecemeal Processing" Explanation.
Garner, Ruth
Journal of Educational Research, v74 n3 p159-62 Jan-Feb 1981
Poor comprehenders from grades five and six were asked to read and rate the comprehensibility of three short passages. Passages with large numbers of modifying words were considered the least comprehensible. Support exists for the hypothesis that poor comprehenders process print in piecemeal fashion. (Author/JN)
