The deep cloze test was developed by Jensen and Elbro (Read Writ Interdiscip J 35(5):1221-1237, 2022. https://doi-org.bibliotheek.ehb.be/10.1007/s11145-021-10230-w) to assess reading comprehension at the level of global situational understanding.

Vocabulary knowledge is one of the most important elements of reading comprehension. Text coverage is the proportion of known words in a given text. We hypothesize that text comprehension increases exponentially with text coverage due to network effects and activation of prior knowledge. In addition, the lexical threshold hypothesis states that…

The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of…

Beker, Katinka; Jolles, Dietsje; Lorch, Robert F., Jr.; van den Broek, Paul – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
Learning often involves integration of information from multiple texts.
