FLORES-MACIAS, Rosa del Carmen; JIMENEZ, Juan E.  y  GARCIA, Eduardo. Basic Cognitive Processes Associated with Secondary Students' Difficulties in Reading Comprehension. RMIE [online]. 2015, vol.20, n.65, pp.581-605. ISSN 1405-6666.

To aid secondary students with deficits in reading comprehension, it is necessary to identify performance in basic cognitive processes. The influence of these processes is not seen in the same manner in all individuals and does not reflect the same problem. For this reason, a comparative study was carried out with 89 students divided into groups by reading performance: readers with difficulties and normal readers. To determine performance in reading comprehension, Basic Intelligent Reading software was used, and to evaluate basic cognitive processes, Sicole-R software. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups, and the variable that best predicted performance in reading comprehension was syntactic processing. The group with reading difficulties was shown to be heterogeneous, with strengths as well as deficits to be considered when developing supportive educational programs.
