Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kershaw, Sarah; Schatschneider, Chris – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
The present study utilized a latent variable modeling approach to examine the Simple View of Reading in a sample of students from 3rd, 7th, and 10th grades (N = 215, 188, and 180, respectively). Latent interaction modeling and other latent variable models were employed to investigate (a) the functional form of the relationship between decoding and…

Does Growth in Working Memory Span or Executive Processes Predict Growth in Reading and Math in Children with Reading Disabilities?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jerman, Olga; Reynolds, Chandra; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2012
The present study investigated whether (a) growth patterns related to cognitive processing (working memory, updating, inhibition) differed in subgroups of children with reading disabilities (RD) and (b) growth in working memory (executive processing) predicted growth in other cognitive areas, such as reading and math. Seventy-three children (ages…

A Path Analysis of Reading Comprehension for Adults with Low Literacy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mellard, Daryl F.; Fall, Emily; Woods, Kari L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
Adult literacy interventions often rely on models of reading validated with children or adult populations with a broad range of reading abilities. Such models do not fully satisfy the need for intervention research and development for adults with low literacy. Thus, the authors hypothesized that a model representing the relationship between…

A System of Constructs Used to Define Learning in Development; Further Used to Define Disturbances of Learning in and to Define Corresponding "Treatments" of Persons Who Manifest Retarded Intellectual Development. An ILF-Approach.
Nyborg, Magne – 1982
A theoretical situation-person-interactions model of learning and performance is presented, and applications of the model through the Instrumental Language Functions (ILF) approach with preschool normal and older variously handicapped children and adults are described. The model is graphically depicted and discussed according to such aspects as…

Speech Analysis during Sentence Processing: Reading and Listening.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levy, Betty Ann – Visible Language, 1978
Examines evidence supporting the view that speech recoding is necessary prior to lexical access, explores an alternative view (that speech recoding occurs in working memory), describes an experiment suggesting that meaning analyses during reading can occur without speech recoding in working memory, and discusses models of reading.
