Reading Rate, Readability, and Variations in Task-Induced Processing

Coke, Esther U.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 68, 2, 167-73, Apr 76

This study explored the hypothesis that task variables account for previous findings that reading rate is unaffected by readability. The findings suggest that when appropriate reading tasks are chosen, reading rate can be used to infer underlying processes in reading. (Author/DEP)
