Vocabulary knowledge is one of the most important elements of reading comprehension. Text coverage is the proportion of known words in a given text. We hypothesize that text comprehension increases exponentially with text coverage due to network effects and activation of prior knowledge. In addition, the lexical threshold hypothesis states that…

James, Emma; Gaskell, M. Gareth; Pearce, Rhiannon; Korell, Caroline; Dean, Charlotte; Henderson, Lisa M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Children and adults benefit from a new word's phonological neighbors during explicit vocabulary instruction, suggesting that related prior knowledge can support new learning. This study examined the influence of lexical neighborhood structure during incidental word learning--limiting opportunities for strategically engaging prior knowledge--and…

Markwick, Andy – School Science Review, 2020
This article reports on how increasing understanding of the morphology of science vocabulary, by introducing and using affixes, improved students' ability to recognise key words in examination questions and link these to prior knowledge. As a result, students attempted far more questions and the quality of answers they provided was significantly…
