“…Many prior studies have used the Author Recognition Test (ART; Stanovich & West, 1989) as a measure of an individual's exposure to print, showing that ART scores are correlated highly with vocabulary knowledge, declarative knowledge, reading comprehension, academic performance, and logical reasoning (Cunningham & Stanovich, 1990, 1997Stanovich & West, 1989;Acheson, Wells, & MacDonald, 2008;West, Stanovich, & Mitchell, 1993; for a comprehensive review, see Mol & Bus, 2011). Acheson et al (2008) reported that, although measures of print exposure were correlated significantly with reading-related performance measured by verbal ACT scores (Stanovich, West, & Harrison, 1995), the correlations between print exposure and online measures of reading ability such as reading rate (as measured by a self-paced reading task) and comprehension accuracy were not reliable. In the current study, we re-examined the relationship between print exposure and online measures of reading by employing eye tracking methodology, which allows us to examine natural reading processes.…”
