Children's Learning from Informational Text: The Relationship between Prior Knowledge and Text Structure.
Yochum, Nina
Journal of Reading Behavior, v23 n1 p87-108 1991
Examines the effects of 2 levels of prior knowledge and 2 types of text structure on the recall and question performance of 90 fifth graders who were average readers. Finds that prior knowledge has a greater effect on question performance than on recall performance and that it only enhances the recall of one section of the text information. (MG)
