ASYMMETRICAL TRANSFER IN READING TEXTS PRODUCED BY TELEPRINTER AND BY TYPEWRITER.
Sixty good readers and 66 poorer readers were given 90 sec. to read passages of about 450 words. They had then to answer 10 open-ended questions on the content. The passages and questions were reproduced in Siemens teleprinter capitals with triple spacing, and in IBM 72 elite upper and lowercase let...

They had then to answer 10 open-ended questions on the content. The passages and questions were reproduced in Siemens teleprinter capitals with triple spacing, and in IBM 72 elite upper and lowercase letters with single spacing. Length of lines averaged 6.5 in. After reading two passages in one style, two-thirds of the readers were transferred to a passage in the other style. The remaining one-third read one style throughout. The poorer readers found elite easier to comprehend than Siemens (p < .05). They showed positive transfer when reading Siemens after elite (p < .05), and negative transfer when reading elite after Siemens (p < .05). The good readers did not find elite any easier than Siemens, and showed no reliable transfer effects. The product moment correlation between the scores on the first two passages was only .32, because the rate of comprehension depends upon previous knowledge. After correcting for attenuation, the correlation between the pooled rate of comprehension of the first two passages and Part 2 of the Tinker speed of reading test was .84. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1969 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
