In pretesting, two viewings of the video resulted in only chance performance on the knowledge test but four viewings led to a reasonable level of comprehension, above chance but not perfect, similar to previous work on learning complex environments (e.g., Taylor & Tversky, 1992).
> -wrap-foot> We also wanted to determine how much additional variance morphological awareness would contribute to the explanation of reading comprehension above phonological awareness.
For comprehension of the above algorithm, we present the implementation results from the treatment of patients with diabetic foot syndrome in a middle-sized public hospital in Greece, during the year 2008.
Elsewhere, informed consent forms have been found to require a reading and comprehension level above that of most individuals in the United States [ 28].
To measure reading rate improvements over an academic year, pre- and post-treatment reading rate measurements were used where comprehension was maintained above 70%.
C-WAT response latency was found to explain a unique and significant, albeit small, proportion of variance in reading comprehension over and above children's Dutch WAT scores (and word decoding fluency), which indicated that accessibility is distinct from availability of semantic word knowledge.
That evaluation confirmed Sarah's beliefs: Brad's reading comprehension scores were above average for his grade level, but his scores in fluency and accuracy were extremely low.
The results of the current study indicate that morphological awareness is an important predictor of adults' reading comprehension over and above phonological awareness.
Note that we assume that intelligibility includes all stages of comprehension over and above early acoustic processing, and as such the intelligibility responses that we see likely reflect multiple processes including acoustic phonetic, semantic, and syntactic processing, and associated representations.
The important role of oral vocabulary, especially the depth aspect, in reading comprehension, as highlighted in the above-mentioned studies, is compatible with the theoretical postulations that comprehension may be linked to the semantic side or the quality of lexical representations (Perfetti, 1999; Perfetti & Hart, 2001).
Importantly, when we repeated the regression analysis above, but replacing consumption with comprehension, we found that comprehension did not predict devaluation performance (p =.792), nor did it interact with the model-based index (p =.739) or explain away the relationship between the model-based index and devaluation (p =.039).
