Executive Control Processes in Reading (Psychology of Reading and Reading Instruction Series)

First published in 1987. The first thing the reader of this volume needs to know is: What is executive control in reading, exactly? Executive control processes coordinate the functioning of the human cognitive system. This book seeks to examine how mature, skilled readers use information about the difficulty and importance of text, and of their comprehension tasks in allocating their reading time and effort.
