READING AND RELATED VERBAL LEARNING,

Abstract

Presents a review that includes relevant to the application of programming principles to reading instruction, with emphasis on beginning reading. States that the organization of this paper differs from the usual division of reading research into such topics as methods, materials, comprehension, and remediation. Instead, the following topics have been used: sequencing factors, stimulus-response factors, reinforcement factors, mediation effects, indivdual differences, and program evaluations. Reports that this structure corresponds with the paradigm of programmed instruction in which desired overt and covert responses are defined, stimuli are designed to evoke them, reinforcers are applied as needed, items are arranged in a systematic sequence with provision for individual differences in learning rate, and procedures are modified on the basis of learner performance.
