本研究通过阅读理解测试考察了影响阅读理解的因素。艾奥瓦州基本技能测验、纳尔逊-丹尼阅读测验、阅读能力等级测验和其他测试被试在300多名3-8年级的学生和大学生中进行。当有一个因素时，对这些数据的四个不同的因素分析一致地得出效率水平因素；当有两个因素时，一个被解释为准确率水平因素，另一个被解释为比率水平因素。结果表明：(A)ITBS很好地衡量了效率水平和准确性水平，但没有衡量利率水平；(B)NDRT衡量了这三个因素，但只衡量了准确性水平；(C)DRP很好地衡量了准确性水平，也衡量了利率水平和效率水平，尽管它并不是为了反映比率。这些结果还表明，在测试阅读理解或一般阅读能力时，最重要的因素是效率水平，其中包括快速阅读的能力。
THIS RESEARCH investigated the factors measured by tests of reading comprehension. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT), the Degrees of Reading Power (DRP), and other tests were administered to over 300 students in Grades 3-8 and to 64 college students. Four different factor analyses of these data consistently resulted in an Efficiency Level factor when there was one factor; when there were two factors, one was interpreted as an Accuracy Level factor and the other as a Rate Level factor. The results suggested that (a) the that the ITBS measures Efficiency Level and Accuracy Level very well but does not measure Rate Level, (b) the NDRT measures all three factors but measure only accuracy level well, and (c) the DRP measures Accuracy Level very well and also measures Rate Level and Efficiency Level even though it does not purport to reflect rate. These results also suggest that the most important factor involved in tests that measure reading comprehension, or general reading ability, is efficiency level, which includes the ability to read fast.
