Three Perspectives on Comprehension: Implications for Assessing and Treating Comprehension Problems.

Kamhi, Alan G. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1997
Begins by using the traditional psycholinguistic view of comprehension as a framework to compare the processes involved in listening and reading comprehension. Two other views of comprehension are then discussed. Finally, ways in which these different views of comprehension affect approaches to assessment and treatment are reviewed. (Author/CR)
