Question

Gough and Tunmer’s “simple view” of this task, which is expressed in the equation “D times LC equals RC,” has recently been challenged by an “active” view that emphasizes bridging processes. Hollis Scarborough modeled competence in this task by illustrating how its components intertwine to form a rope. Skill in this task may be improved by the “pause, prompt, and praise” technique. In the 19th century, Louis Javal described how the body performs this task discontinuously through saccades (10[1])intermixed with fixations. (10[1]-5[1])When performing this task silently, many people engage in the practice of subvocalization. The discredited “whole language” approach to learning this task has been largely replaced by phonics. For 10 points, what task is challenging for people with dyslexia? (10[1])■END■
