To Err Is Human.

Goodman, Kenneth S.; Goodman, Yetta M.

New York University Education Quarterly, v12 n4 p14-19 Sum 1981

Errors in reading and speaking are not the result of failure to comprehend or communicate. Rather, such errors are "miscues," which show the effects of psycholinguistic processes that have taken unexpected turns. The nature of these miscues reveals the underlying cognitive schema that guide a person's comprehension and verbalization. (Author/SJL)
