Official Title: The Role of Knowledge Retrieval in Inference-making Among Struggling Readers
Brief Summary:
This project will (a) examine the relationship between knowledge retrieval and inferencing; (b) determine the effectiveness of an intervention that improves knowledge retrieval and inferencing among struggling readers; and (c) expand research opportunities for undergraduates.The research design uses 316 struggling readers in grades 4-6 of diverse backgrounds.The effects of knowledge retrieval (accuracy and speed) on inferencing will be modeled without dichotomizing the distribution.Linear mixed effect models will…
