Abstract
Operant conditioning techniques were employed to increase reading rate of 10 experimental subjects who had been matched for reading rate and comprehension with 10 control group subjects. This procedure was designed to determine the effect on comprehension of a significant reading rate increase. While a significant difference was obtained in reading rate between the control and experimental groups, there was no such difference in the comprehension scores between the two groups. The comprehension scores remained essentially unchanged for both groups. © 1974 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
