Reading Comprehension in Children Aged 7–9 with Focus on Cohesion Aspects

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

This study concerns an integral topic of psycholinguistic research in reading comprehension — understanding selected aspects of cohesion. It is based on an English study by Yuill and Oakhill (1988) which we replicated in the Czech environment. We investigated the comprehension of three types of anaphora (reference, lexical cohesion and ellipsis) in children aged 7 to 8. Our main concern was describing how solving the task of identifying antecedents of anaphora in a story depends on the type of anaphora, on the distance of the antecedent of the anaphora and on the children’s reading level. It was discovered that successful identification of the antecedent positively correlated with the reading level. The most difficult identification of the antecedent was generally found to be in their immediate proximity. Differences between scores for the individual anaphora types were not statistically significant. Due to the absence of relevant data concerning the acquisition of cohesion, this research offers the first experimental insight into this topic.
