使用大型成人阅读数据库，我们研究了高水平和低水平阅读技能之间以及多种阅读技能、一般认知能力和阅读理解能力之间的关系。主成分分析发现，成人读者的高级技能（包括阅读理解、词汇和印刷品接触）与低级技能（包括解码和拼写）之间存在部分分离。此外，后续回归分析表明，对于成年熟练读者来说，高水平的子技能（例如词汇和印刷品曝光）比低水平的技能（例如解码和拼写）更能预测阅读理解能力。这些发现表明，在熟练的成人读者中，高级技能和低级技能是分离的，并且高级技能与成人的理解能力更密切相关。
Using a large adult reading database, we examined the relationships between high-level and low-level reading skills and between multiple reading skills, general cognitive ability, and reading comprehension ability. A principal components analysis found partial dissociability between higher-level skills including reading comprehension, vocabulary and print exposure, and lower-level skills including decoding and spelling in adult readers. Furthermore, follow-up regression analyses showed that the high-level sub-skills (e.g., vocabulary and print exposure) were significantly better predictors of reading comprehension ability than the low-level skills (e.g., decoding and spelling) in adult skilled readers. These findings suggest that higher-level and lower-level skills are dissociable in adult skilled readers and that higher-level skills are more strongly related to comprehension ability in adults.
