Processing of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Information by Skilled and Average Deaf Readers and Implications for Whole Language Instruction.

Kelly, Leonard P.

Exceptional Children, v61 n4 p318-34 Feb 1995

This study compared 18 high-ability and average-ability secondary level deaf readers on 5 indicators of cognitive processes used during reading. Results indicated significant differences between groups on measures of fluency. However, intergroup similarities in processes suggest that these components do not determine reading superiority.
