MORALES, Germán et al. Morphology and Function in the Empirical Analysis of Reading Adjustment. Suma Psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.1, pp.35-45. ISSN 0121-4381.

The present study evaluated the effects of varying the criterion and the morphology of the percentage of correct response upon reading adjustment tasks. Participants were 20 voluntary students, distributed in four groups, which were differentiated by the certainty - variability of the criterion and the certainty - variability of the morphology of response to satisfy the criterion. All participants were exposed to a first evaluation, training and finally a second evaluation similar to the first one was applied. Results question the role of morphology as a comprehension strategy independent of a functional criterion, domain and of the text itself.
