Vogelzang, Margreet; Fuhrhop, Nanna; Mundhenk, Tobias; Ruigendijk, Esther – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: German is exceptional in its use of noun capitalisation. It has been suggested that sentence-internal capitalisation as in German may benefit processing by specifically marking a noun and thus a noun phrase (NP). However, other cues, such as a determiner, can also indicate an NP. The influence of capitalisation on processing may thus…

León, José A.; Moreno, José David; Escudero, Inmaculada; Olmos, Ricardo; Ruiz, Marcos; Lorch, Robert F. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
Background: The present study analysed how relevance instructions affect eye movement patterns and the performance in a summary task of six expository texts. Methods: Forty-one undergraduate students participated in the experiment; half of them were instructed to make an oral summary of the main ideas focusing on the 'why' question that appeared…

Margolin, Sara J.; Snyder, Natasha – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
The present research explored the awareness that readers have of the difficulty of negative text and aimed to determine whether rereading could impact comprehension and metacomprehension. Participants read passages that sometimes contained negative words such as 'no' and 'not', rated their comprehension, and answered a comprehension question about…

Yeari, Menahem; Oudega, Marja; van den Broek, Paul – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
The present study investigated the effect of text highlighting on online processing and memory of central and peripheral information. We compared processing time (using eye-tracking methodology) and recall of central and peripheral information for three types of highlighting: (a) highlighting of central information, (b) highlighting of peripheral…

Cardullo, Victoria; Zygouris-Coe, Vassiliki I.; Wilson, Nance S. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
The intent of this research was to investigate the experiences of eighth grade readers as they read nonfiction text on an iPad for academic purposes. We investigated reading strategies that students use to support their reading as well as what role iPad features played in the reading process. New literacies, metacognition and transactional…

Pumfrey, P. D.; Fletcher, J. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1989
Examines syntactic, semantic and grapho-phonic miscues made by early readers of varying ability. Finds that (1) passage complexity affects use of syntactic and semantic cues; (2) high and above average students' miscue quality deteriorates as text complexity increases; and (3) higher word recognition scores relate to effective use of grapho-phonic…

Beveridge, Michael; Edmundson, Susan – Journal of Research in Reading, 1989
Reports two studies using a microcomputer-driven self-paced reading task to examine reading strategies of good and poor readers. Finds that reading ability influences reading strategies differently according to whether text is presented in single words or in phrases, and that poor readers read more slowly than good readers.

Kozminsky, Ely; Graetz, Naomi – Journal of Research in Reading, 1986
Tests the hypothesis that second language (L2) students' approach to text reflects a top-down processing strategy in contrast to first language (L1) students' approach that is more text-driven. Results confirmed L2 subjects studied the texts less efficiently than L1 subjects. (HOD)

Oakhill, Jane; And Others – Journal of Research in Reading, 1986
Reports on two experiments that explore the comprehension difficulties of children with normal word recognition ability. Concludes that skilled readers engage in more constructive processing and that comprehension difficulties are not the result of a defective working memory. (SRT)
