Abstract
The importance of word decoding in accounting for individual differences in reading comprehension is discussed. Research on individual differences in the cognitive processes that mediate word decoding is reviewed. It is concluded that a large proportion of the variance in word decoding ability is accounted for by phonological processes, and that little variance is explained by differences in visual processes. Possible causal relationships and developmental changes also are discussed.Keywords
