Reading comprehension is a multifactorial process, but one of its features has been relatively under‐investigated: it is the strategy used when answering reading comprehension questions. In order to find the correct answer, children can either respond to questions about a text relying on their text memory or look back at the written text. This study analyses (i) which strategy, memory or look‐back is more frequently adopted in primary school children according to grade level and type of text (expository vs narrative) and (ii) the preferred (most frequently used) and more efficient (higher number of correct responses) strategy for poor oral comprehenders. Poor oral comprehenders were selected for having adequate nonword decoding skills but impaired oral comprehension, compared with good oral comprehenders.

回头看文字还是依靠记忆？口语理解能力强和弱者的阅读理解策略的功效

阅读理解是一个多因素过程，但是其中一项功能尚未得到充分研究：它是回答阅读理解问题时使用的策略。为了找到正确的答案，孩子们可以依靠他们的文本记忆来回答有关文本的问题，也可以回头看一下书面文本。这项研究分析了（i）根据年级和课文类型（说明性还是叙述性），在小学生中更常采用哪种策略，记忆力或回溯力；以及（ii）首选（最常用）且更有效（正确的回答数量较多）对口语理解力较差的策略。与具有良好口头理解能力的人相比，由于口语理解能力较差的人会选择口语能力较差的人，但他们的口头理解能力却受到损害。
