Describes an experiment measuring response latency which required subjects to make a word-nonword decision in response to a visually presented item. (AM)

Intra- and crossmodal performance of normal and retarded third-grade readers were compared in a reaction-time task. Results suggest that the demands of stimulus complexity within the visual modality rather than the demands of crossmodal shifting were related to reading ability. (Author/ED)

Skilled readers read passages while their eye movements were monitored. Certain critical words were changed by the computer as the eye was in motion. Subsequent data indicated how wide the area is from which a reader acquires information during a fixation in silent reading. (Author/BJG)

Investigated the characteristics and utility of the Hayes Early Identification Listening Response Test (HEILRT). (RC)
