En este trabajo se revisa la literatura para describir las características de los sujetos con una baja capacidad de comprensión, entendida aquí como capacidad para aprender mediante la lectura. Las características son agrupadas en tomo a estos dos aspeaos: qué es lo que obtienen de la lettura y cómo operan para obtener esa limitada representación. En la parte empírica del trabajo, se comparan dos muestras seleccionadas de sujetos de buena y pobre comprensión (6.°, 7.° y 8.° de EGB) en sus perfiles de recuerdo, su capacidad para apoyar su recuerdo en la organization lógica de los textos, su capacidad para reconocer el tema de párrafos y en su capacidad para resumir, demostrándose que en todos esos capítulos aparecen claras diferencias (p<.001) en los dos niveles seleccionados.
