形态感知在支持更高层次的文本处理中起着至关重要的作用。我们研究了不同年龄和能力水平的儿童的阅读理解，以确定何时和对谁形态意识是特别重要的。三组儿童（6-8岁，N = 128; 9-11岁，N = 126;和12-13岁，N = 147）完成判断和生产任务，以衡量意识的复合，曲折和推导。非语言推理，词汇，语音意识，单词阅读和阅读理解也进行了评估。主成分分析产生了一个单一的主要因素，每个年龄组的形态意识。分层多元回归分析显示，这种形态意识因素占显着独特的差异，在阅读理解组的6-8和12-13岁，超越年龄，非语言推理，词汇，语音意识和文字阅读。词汇量在所有三个年龄组中也是唯一预测阅读理解的因素。在阅读理解分布的三个点（0.1，0.5和0.9）的分位数回归分析表明，形态意识和词汇预测阅读理解能力范围内的相似程度。我们的研究结果澄清了形态意识在阅读理解中的基本作用，在所有层次的读者。此外，词汇和形态意识都对理解能力做出了重要贡献，在整个能力范围内发展读者。
Morphological awareness plays a crucial role in supporting higher-level text processing. We examined its contribution to reading comprehension in children of different ages and ability levels in order to determine when and for whom morphological awareness is of particular importance. Three groups of children (aged 6-8 years,N = 128; 9-11 years,N = 126; and 12-13 years N = 147) completed judgement and production tasks to measure awareness of compounding, inflections and derivations. Nonverbal reasoning, vocabulary, phonological awareness, word reading and reading comprehension were also assessed. Principal component analysis yielded a single primary factor of morphological awareness for each age group. Separate hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that this morphological awareness factor accounted for significant unique variance in reading comprehension for groups of 6-8 and 12-13 years, beyond age, nonverbal reasoning, vocabulary, phonological awareness and word reading. Vocabulary also uniquely predicted reading comprehension in all three age groups. Quantile regression analyses at three points in the reading comprehension distribution (0.1, 0.5 and 0.9) indicated that morphological awareness and vocabulary predicted reading comprehension to a similar extent across the ability range. Our results clarify the fundamental role of morphological awareness in reading comprehension across all levels of readers. In addition, vocabulary and morphological awareness each make critical contributions to comprehension ability in developing readers across the ability range.
