Abstract
The asymmetrical release from proactive inhibition found in poor readers on the modality dimension (auditory to visual: no release; visual to auditory: slight release) by Farnham-Diggory and Gregg (1975) was not obtained when two critical control groups were included. On a Wickens' release from proactive inhibition task, both good and poor readers in grades 4,5, and 6 showed a build-up of inhibition across the first group of trials and a release on the last trial with a shift in modality of presentation when the comparison was between a shift and a no-shift group on the last trial, as suggested by Wickens (1972), and with a shift in taxonomic category. There were also no differences between groups on a recognition of presentation modality task. Both good and poor readers, therefore, store information indicating whether a word was heard or seen and information concerning a word's category membership.
