Summary
	Believes the reason for the decline in writing skills of college students is that many students come from homes where speech is more widespread than reading or writing. Habits of mind that depend on literacy are incompletely developed. Leisure time is dominated by media which reinforces oral modes of thinking. States the need for teachers to explore the relationship of developmental cognitive processes to the teaching of writing.
	Concludes with possible applications and areas for further exploration.
