Thus, reading comprehension is dependent upon the quality of literary exposure, not upon age.
This makes sense, as informed consent is traditionally thought to hinge upon comprehension [ 3].
In the study of Hirst et al., even though the tasks both involved verbal stimuli, it is plausible that dictation may rely more on an automatic phonological store while the semantic processing needed for reading comprehension relied primarily upon a central attention resource.
However, upon further comprehension, it's not so out-of-the-question.
The effect of sentence scrambling shows that both valence and arousal are enhanced by, though not completely dependent upon, general comprehension of meaning.
While both of these affective components depend, to some extent, upon general comprehension of meaning in written statements, only valence is influenced by the consistency of the statements with one's beliefs about the world.
While both components depended upon overall comprehension of sentence meaning, only valence was influenced by the consistency of the sentences with participants' beliefs (i.e., whether it was believable or unbelievable).
This paper presents results of a pilot study investigating the effects of multimodality upon second language comprehension with a view to informing future instructional design.
Some authors have suggested that syntactically complex reversible sentences induce a greater processing load not upon first-pass comprehension but rather in a stage of post hoc reanalysis after the sentence has already been heard.
According to the Baddeley model, there is no necessary relationship between auditory short-term memory and language comprehension, the emphasis being instead upon the necessity of these systems for language acquisition (Baddeley, 2003).
