- Title
Phonological recoding and suppression effects in children's sentence comprehension.

- Abstract
THE PRESENT EXPERIMENT investigated the role of phonological recoding in accounting for children's passage comprehension. Two groups of children (ages 10 and 14) were compared on silent reading and listening comprehension of nouns, verbs, and concepts within and across sentences under conditions of suppressed and nonsuppressed phonological recoding. For both age groups, the effect of suppressed recoding was found to be specific to comprehension questions that required memory of individual concepts (i.e., nouns, verbs) and the integration of concepts within sentences, as contrasted with questions that required integration of concepts across sentences. Three hypotheses were offered to explain the beneficial effects of phonological recoding on children's reading comprehension. The results were best interpreted in terms of an extended working hypothesis.
