The lack of a top-down effect on eye movements despite large comprehension differences was termed the "Tyranny of Film".
However, despite these large comprehension differences, similar to our previous study that used a very different film clip (Loschky et al., 2015), we found only modest and targeted differences in eye movements.
Lopez deduces a blind spot in our art-historical knowledge and, indeed, in our larger comprehension of European culture between the World Wars.
Instruments used for data collection consisted of a reading comprehension book containing a large number of formulaic sequences for intervention sessions and an oral-production discourse completion task adopted from Bardovi-Harlig et al. (2015) for testing knowledge of formulaic sequences as pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test.
Further, these predictors accounted for a large proportion of the variance in reading comprehension, suggesting the importance of morphological and phonological skills to reading comprehension in this population.
An abstraction network, such as the SN, can be a useful aid in regards to the issues of comprehension, integration, and navigation of a large terminological system.
For example, in a large sample of adults with acute stroke, auditory comprehension deficits were associated with lesions affecting the extreme capsule (a ventral tract) (Kummerer et al., 2013).
To monitor comprehension of these processes among students at a large public university, we developed and validated an 18-item Osmosis and Diffusion Conceptual Assessment (ODCA).
Overall, the research showed that "in terms of textual devices, results showed that emoticons had a larger influence on both comprehension and emotional impact than punctual marks".
Nonetheless, in how many languages could we mark traffic signs or hazard warnings, or successfully coordinate a large number of soldiers -- all at a satisfactory level of simultaneous comprehension, effectiveness and, most critical of all, accuracy?
