Abstract. In education, some students lack language comprehension, language production and language acquisition skills. In this paper we extracted several psycholinguistics features broadly grouped into lexical and morphological complexity, syntactic complexity, production units, syntactic pattern density, referential cohesion, connectives, amounts of coordination, amounts of subordination, LSA, word information, and readability from students' summary speech transcripts. Using these CohMetrix features, comprehenders are classified into two groups: poor comprehender and proficient comprehender. It is concluded that a computational model can be implemented using a reduced set of features and the results can be used to help poor reading comprehenders for improving their cognitive reading skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
