Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experimental Study in the Psychology of Reading More recently, however, a marked Change has been taking place. As a result, the reading process is rapidly being analyzed, and careful studies are being made of its several components, such as rate and comprehension. Individual differences are being determined, reading materials standardized, norms and standards of accomplishment established, the differences between silent and oral reading more definitely set forth, and new practices developed. This new and promising movement is due in part to the influence of the rapidly growing technical psychology of reading, the incep tion and development of which are traced in the next Chapter, and in part it is part and parcel of the present scientific movement in education - the movement which is ruthlessly challenging all of our practices, in so far as these rest upon traditional and empirical rather than scientific principles.
