Lots of people doubting this, and saying running === comprehension. Here's an exercise for you: how much did Bill spend at the grocery store? Bill and Tom went to the show store, and Bill bought a black pair of shoes for 23.56. Tom got a pair of red shoes for 40.30. Then they went to the grocery store, and Tom bought a loaf of bread for 3.50 and a gallon of milk for 5.99. Bill also bought a loaf of bread but didn't get any milk. Anyone can tell that answering that specific question uses a different part of the brain than answering "what did tom and Bill do?" And further uses a completely different part than: "modify the story to add a barbershop visit for Bill after the shoe store" which will require parsing the grammar to inject an extra story and keep things consistent. Big picture !== Small details !== Writing !== Editing existing The study feels incomplete if the four types of understanding are not being equivalently asked for both a story and the code.
