The Contribution of Attentional Control and Working Memory to Reading Comprehension and Decoding
Open accessAbstract
Little is known about how specific components of working memory, namely, attentional processes including response inhibition, sustained attention, and cognitive inhibition, are related to reading decoding and comprehension. The current study evaluated the relations of reading comprehension, decoding, working memory, and attentional control in 1,134 adolescent students. Path analyses were used to assess the direct and indirect effects of working memory and aspects of attentional control on reading comprehension and decoding. There were significant direct effects of working memory, sustained attention, and cognitive inhibition on reading comprehension, but not decoding. There was a significant direct effect of working memory and response inhibition on decoding, but not comprehension. These results suggest that different aspects of attentional control are important for decoding versus comprehension.

“…attention, in addition to working memory, have been related to reading comprehension in other studies (Borella, Carretti, & Pelegrina, 2010; Friedman & Miyake, 2004; Gernsbacher & Faust, 1991; Palladino & Ferrari, 2013), but their overlapping and independent relations to reading have been…”

“Cognitive inhibition is associated with the “intentional” control of mental processes involved in suppressing unwanted or irrelevant thoughts and context-inappropriate meanings, as well as gating task-irrelevant information from working memory (Nigg, 2000; Wilson & Kipp, 1998).”

“This derivation results in a score that reflects both omission errors and variability in the time to respond to targets, providing a measure of delay aversion representative of inattention (see Castellanos & Tannock, 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
