Data were from a…

Rai, Manpreet K.; Loschky, Lester C.; Harris, Richard Jackson; Peck, Nicole R.; Cook, Lindsay G. – Language Learning, 2011
Although stress is frequently claimed to impede foreign language (FL) reading comprehension, it is usually not explained how.

Inferences, although necessary for reading comprehension,…
