Topical Knowledge and Topical Interest Predictors of Listening Comprehension.

Hare, Victoria Chou; Devine, Denise A.

Journal of Educational Research, v76 n3 p157-60 Jan-Feb 1983

A study investigated whether preassessments of general and specific knowledge can predict children's listening comprehension. Topical knowledge, assessed by multiple-choice questions, did predict story comprehension; topical interest, however, did not correlate either with topical knowledge or comprehension. (Authors/PP)
