>Subvocalization's role in reading comprehension can be viewed as a function of task complexity. Subvocalization is involved minimally or not at all in immediate comprehension.[26] For example, subvocalization is not used in the making of homophone judgements[4] but is used more for the comprehension of sentences and even more still for the comprehension of paragraphs.[7] Subvocalization which translates visual reading information into a more durable and flexible acoustic code[27] is thought to allow for the integration of past concepts with those currently being processed.[8][26]
