Our KAKEN research group (supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), No. 19520532, from 2007 to 2009) has developed the CELP Test, Computer-Based English Lexical Processing Test, to measure English learners' ability to process words. The results in the CELP Test provide us with data on accuracy (the number of correct answers), and processing speed (reaction times in seconds). The present study concerns the following questions : 1) Can the higher score in the CELP Test predict potential extensive readers ? 2) Will the score in the CELP Test improve through reading extensively ? 3) Do the learners who gained higher scores in the CELP test perform better in the fast reading task? Results may be summarized as follows : 1) There seemed to be no correlation between the pre-test score in the CELP Test and the number of words the subjects read. The higher score in the CELP Test could not predict potential extensive readers. 2) Comparing the pre-test score with the post-test score, there was not much gain in accuracy, but reaction times improved. The speed of lexical access was correlated with the number of words the subjects read. The results suggested that the more the subjects read, the more lexical access may improve. 3) We may be able to say that some learners with higher CELP Test scores might process sentences faster., 10, KJ00006096899, 論文, Article}, pages = {237--260}, title = {ダイ2 ゲンゴ ノ ゴイ ショリ ノウリョク ト リーディング リョク タンゴ ニンチ ト ドクショリョウ ドッカイ ソクド トノ カンレン オ サグッテ オカダ アキコ キョウジュ タイニン キネンゴウ}, year = {2010}, yomi = {ヤマシナ, ミワコ and ツリイ, チエ} }
