Understanding ideas and information is a basic comprehension skill. Understanding ideas and info not explicitly stated is a higher order skill. (These levels of thinking are set out in Bloom �s taxonomy). Inference is what this means - looking at the info and facts you have and deducing or inferring what they might signify. So I think these are pretty much the same thing. |

I agree with Lynne that they are essentially the same skill. Bruce |
