Comprehension Skill and Word-to-Text Integration Processes (2008, background): “…some studies suggest that less skilled readers’ failure in meaning processing might result from deficits in the quality of lexical representations (Perfetti & Hart, 2001), whereas other studies identify readers with adequate word identification abilities who show poor comprehension (Cain, 1996;…”
Psychometric Evaluation of a Receptive Vocabulary Test for Greek Elementary Students (2011, background): “…to identify valid indices of both the depth and breadth of lexical knowledge (Ouellette, 2006), which, according to one view, should reflect the existence of lexical entries associated with redundant (phonological, orthographic, and semantic) information (Perfetti, 2007; Perfetti & Hart, 2001).”
The Components of the Simple View of Reading: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (2012, background): “The emphasis on ties among, rather than distinctions between, constructs is a characteristic of the lexical quality hypothesis (Perfetti & Hart, 2001 , 2002 ) for reading comprehension.”
Bilingual lexical activation in sentence context (2006, background): “…that there is great variability in people’s ability to efficiently decode text and integrate information from text into a coherent mental representation (Carpenter, Miyake, & Just, 1994; Daneman, 1991; Haenggi & Perfetti, 1992; Herdman & LeFevre, 1992; Perfetti, 1994, 1997; Perfetti & Hart, 2001).”
