College Readers' Mental Imagery, Comprehension and Attitude with Abstract and Concrete Expository Materials.

Irwin, Judith W.; Witte, Pauline L.

Reading World, v20 n1 p35-43 Oct 1980

A study was made of the relationships between the number and clarity of mental images reported by college readers and their reported interest, perceived reading ease, and comprehension scores. Imagery ratings were not significantly related to comprehension scores, but for concrete passages they were significantly related to attitude and reading ease ratings. (Author/GT)
