Abstract (2. Language): 
This review of literature will examine three bodies of literature related to information processing. First, reading comprehension will be defined, followed by a description of historical approaches to the study of comprehension and a detailed explanation of currently held theories and models of comprehension. Second, a model of short-term memory will be presented followed by an explanation of the role of short-term memory in processing text. Third, differences between good and poor readers will be described, followed by an analysis of possible sources of differences, including the differences that might be attributed to short-term memory.
