Of the 4 Processing Systems of Reading, this processor is what allows us to make meaning by relying on background information and sentence context.
What is the Context Processor?

What is written expression?

This refers specifically to a verbal means of communicating.
What is speech?

This theory of reading acquisition posits that we learn to read by interacting in our environments and exploring print and print features.
What is Constructivist?
200
This refers to the sudden realization of a problem's solution.
What is insight?
300
This factor that contributes to language acquisition in children is often measured by a mother's level of education.
What is SES?
300
This processing system in reading is responsible for processing speech sounds and making connections between speech sounds and printed symbols, or graphemes.
What is the Phonological Processor
300
This is the sound system of a language.
What is phonology?
300
Researchers study these type of movements to gain better insights into the behaviors of skilled readers.
What are eye movements?
300
In the candle problem described by Karl Duncker, this is the obstacle that often hinders solving the problem.
What is functional fixedness?
400
This begins during the last 3 months of prenatal development.
What is phonological development?
400
According to Seidenberg and McClelland's (1989) model of the 4 Processing Systems of Reading, this is the processor that is responsible for recognizing and processing vocabulary.
What is the Meaning Processor?
400
This term is the understanding that words contain printed symbols that correspond to speech sounds that can be manipulated.
What is phonemic awareness?
400
In this type of task, readers are asked to read words with conflicting sensory information, such as reading the word "red" in purple colored font.
What is a stroop task?
400
This is a preconceived notion about how to approach a problem based on one's prior experiences or what has worked with previous similar attempts.
What is a mental set?
500
When studying language preferences in young infants, researchers typically measure the intensity of this behavior.
What is sucking?
500
The orthographic processor is responsible for decoding and processing print for reading input and allows this behavior to be possible as an output.
What is writing?
500
This is a measure of reading speed and accuracy that is measured by calculating correct words read per minute
What is fluency?
500
In the Lormps and Snorps exercise from the reading lecture, you were able to apply this type of comprehension, which only requires one to attend to exactly what is in the text.
What is literal comprehension?
500
This type of thinking is open-ended and involves multiple potential solutions to solving a problem with no one correct answer.
What is divergent thinking?
