چکیده
Accuracy Group abstract accuracy. Five of the nine comprehension questions in each question set pertained to abstract information not contained in the reading passages. These questions constituted the abstract question set. The abstract question accuracy ranged from 0% to 100% (Median = 54, Mean = 54, SD = 32.73) for the high-context condition, 0% to 100% (Median = 40, Mean = 44, SD = 35.02) for the low-context condition, and 20% to 100% (Median = 40, Mean = 50, SD = 28.67) for the no context condition (see Figure 4.5). Calculation of Friedman’s (Friedman, 1937) test yielded no significant
