To replicate Bradley's (1970) investigation of various parts-of-speech as information sources for responses to reading-comprehension test items, 180 Ss in Grades 3, 4, and 5 were assigned to treatment groups which corresponded to grammatical deletions made in the reading paragraphs. Nouns were confirmed as the primary information source and adjectives were not confirmed as an information source. It was concluded that some artifact of task, administration, or random error was responsible for the previous finding of adjectives as information sources for responses to reading-comprehension test items.
