Relations among reading ability, reading mode, and recognition memory.

Based on the Profiles Reading Test, 32 2nd graders were identified as poor and 32 as good readers. Ss were then tested individually for sentence memory. Results indicate that (a) the highest percentage of recognition errors occurred for true inference sentences, (b) good readers showed superior performance on false inference and false premise sentences, and (c) silent readers made more errors than oral readers.
