Comprehension tests are often used interchangeably, suggesting an implicit assumption that they are all measuring the same thing. We examine the validity of this assumption by comparing some of the most popular reading comprehension measures used in research and clinical practice in the United States: the Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT), the two assessments (retellings and comprehension questions) from the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI), the Woodcock–Johnson Passage Comprehension subtest (WJPC), and the Reading Comprehension test from the Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT). Modest intercorrelations among the tests suggested that they were measuring different skills. Regression analyses showed that decoding, not listening comprehension, accounts for most of the variance in both the PIAT and the WJPC; the reverse holds for the GORT and both QRI measures. Large developmental differences in what the tests measure were found for the PIAT and the WJPC, but not the other tests, both when development was measured by chronological age and by word reading ability. We discuss the serious implications for research and clinical practice of having different comprehension tests measure different skills and of having the same test assess different skills depending on developmental level. 相似文献

Vowel representations are particularly difficult for children to learn because most vowel phonemes can be spelled in several different ways. Children in Grades 1, 2, and 3 spelled nonwords with an ambiguous vowel and reported their spelling strategies. Analysis of the children's spellings and strategy reports revealed a shift in relying solely on phonological information to considering orthographic information for making vowel letter choices. Implications for vowel spelling development are discussed. 相似文献

We report preliminary behaviour genetic analyses of reading and listening comprehension from The Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center. Although the twin sample with these new measures is still of limited size, we find substantial, and significant, genetic influences on individual differences in both reading and listening comprehension. In addition, word recognition and listening comprehension each accounted for significant independent genetic influences on reading comprehension. Together, they accounted for all the genetic influence on reading comprehension, indicating a largely genetic basis for the ‘simple model’ of individual differences in reading comprehension proposed by Hoover and Gough (1990) . 相似文献

Longitudinal twin data were analyzed to investigate the etiology of the stability of genetic and environmental influences
on word reading and reading comprehension, as well as the stability of those influences on their relationship. Participating
twin pairs were initially tested at a mean age of 10.3 years, and retested approximately five years later. Both word reading
and comprehension were found to be highly stable, and genetic influences were primarily responsible for that stability. In
contrast to studies with younger participants, no unique genetic influences were observed at follow-up testing in this older
sample. High genetic correlations were obtained between word reading and reading comprehension at both ages, indicating common
genetic influences. However, significant genetic influence on comprehension was also observed, independent of that on word
reading. Although the phenotypic relation between the two measures appeared to decline across time, the genetic etiology of
this relation was highly stable. 相似文献

ABSTRACT— The majority of children who receive special education services meet criteria for reading disability (RD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but additional research is needed to understand the long-term academic outcome of children in these groups. Individuals with RD only ( N = 71), ADHD only ( N = 66), both RD and ADHD ( N = 51), or neither disorder ( N = 118) were identified through the ongoing Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center twin study and retested 5 years later. Results of the follow-up testing indicated that, in addition to ongoing reading difficulties, individuals with RD exhibited higher rates of academic difficulties, depression, and adolescent-onset conduct disorder. Initial ADHD status was associated with academic and social difficulties and elevated rates of nearly all comorbid disorders 5 years later. The group with comorbid RD and ADHD had more stable reading deficits than the group with RD without ADHD and exhibited greater impairment than groups with either disorder alone on outcome measures of academic functioning and social difficulties. These results suggest that individuals with both RD and ADHD are at increased risk for negative outcomes as adolescents and young adults and that when RD and ADHD co-occur, interventions should be provided for both disorders. 相似文献

Numerous studies have examined the etiology of the association between reading difficulties and attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) in school-age children, but little is known about the relation between prereading skills and ADHD behaviors
prior to the beginning of formal reading instruction. A population-based sample of 809 pairs of preschool twins completed
an extensive battery of prereading measures, and the parent of each twin completed an ADHD rating scale. Phenotypic analyses
revealed small but significant correlations between DSM-IV inattention ratings and six prereading composite measures, whereas
hyperactivity–impulsivity symptoms were not independently associated with any of the prereading scores. Multivariate twin
analyses indicated that virtually all of the phenotypic correlation between inattention and prereading performance is attributable
to common genetic influences, consistent with results obtained in studies of older twins. Although additional research is
needed to test alternative causal models in children younger than five years old, these results are most consistent with the
hypothesis that reading difficulties and inattention symptoms are attributable to common genetic influences. 相似文献

Lexical priming was assessed in children with reading disability (RD) and in age-matched controls ( M = 11.5 years), in visual and auditory lexical decision tasks. In the visual task, children with RD were found to have deficits in semantic (SHIP–BOAT), phonological/graphemic (GOAT–BOAT), and combined (FLOAT–BOAT) priming. The same pattern of semantic priming deficits also occurred in auditory lexical decisions, suggesting that the semantic deficits are not confined to reading. Children with RD also showed less priming than reading-age matched controls, suggesting that their priming deficits are not simply due to lower reading level but are due to the reading disability in particular. These semantic deficits may contribute to both the word reading and the comprehension problems seen in children with RD. 相似文献
