Abstract
Although the article referred to (see 25: 4529) presents a sound empirical approach to the evaluation of abstract words in a piece of writing, the authors raise questions as to its value as a measure of readability. It is felt that existing instruments would seem to be as good or better. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
