Matthew T. McCrudden; Linh Huynh; Bailing Lyu; Jonna M. Kulikowich; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2024
Readers build a mental representation of text during reading. The coherence building processes readers use to build a mental representation during reading is key to comprehension. We examined the effects of self- explanation on coherence building processes as undergraduates (n =51) read five complementary texts about natural selection and…

Allen, Laura Kristen; Magliano, Joseph P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Sonia, Allison N.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
The current study examined the extent to which the cohesion detected in readers' constructed responses to multiple documents was predictive of persuasive, source-based essay quality. Participants (N=95) completed multiple-documents reading tasks wherein they were prompted to think-aloud, self-explain, or evaluate the sources while reading a set of…

Sonia, Allison N.; Joseph, Magliano P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura K. – Grantee Submission, 2022
The constructed responses individuals generate while reading can provide insights into their coherence-building processes. The current study examined how the cohesion of constructed responses relates to performance on an integrated writing task. Participants (N = 95) completed a multiple document reading task wherein they were prompted to think…

Magliano, Joseph P.; Lampi, Jodi P.; Ray, Melissa; Chan, Greta – Grantee Submission, 2020
Coherent mental models for successful comprehension require inferences that establish semantic "bridges" between discourse constituents and "elaborations" that incorporate relevant background knowledge. While it is established that individual differences in the extent to which postsecondary students engage in these processes…

Tsiola, Anna – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Naturalistic language learning is contextually grounded. When people learn their first (L1) and often their second (L2) language, they do so in various contexts. In this dissertation I examine the effect of various contexts on language development. Part 1 describes the effects of textual, linguistic context in reading. I employed an eye-tracking…

Pérez-Marín, Diana; Pascual-Nieto, Ismael – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2013
A pedagogic conversational agent (PCA) can be defined as a computer system that interacts with the student in natural language assuming the role of the instructor, a student or a companion. It can have a personality and can generate different sentences according to the agent or the student mood. Empathy with the students' feelings seems to…

Graesser, Arthur C.; D'Mello, Sidney K.; Craig, Scotty D.; Witherspoon, Amy; Sullins, Jeremiah; McDaniel, Bethany; Gholson, Barry – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2008
Relations between emotions (affect states) and learning have recently been explored in the context of AutoTutor. AutoTutor is a tutoring system on the Internet that helps learners construct answers to difficult questions by interacting with them in natural language. AutoTutor has an animated conversation agent and a dialog management facility that…
