Tibken, Catharina; Richter, Tobias; Wannagat, Wienke; Schmiedeler, Sandra; von der Linden, Nicole; Schneider, Wolfgang – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The inconsistency task is used to measure metacognitive monitoring in text comprehension via online (reading time) and offline measures (number of detected inconsistencies). Few studies have examined stability in task performance and interindividual differences. We addressed these issues with adolescents (N = 341) in Grades 6/7 (Mage =…

Hildenbrand, Lena; Wiley, Jennifer – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
The present study examined the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and comprehension on a multiple text assessment from the ACT test for college preparedness in which texts are available during question answering. Specifically, it was of interest whether differences in relations would be seen across different question types. Only…

Danielle S. McNamara; Natalie Newton; Katerina Christhilf; Kathryn S. McCarthy; Joseph P. Magliano; Laura K. Allen – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Analyzing constructed responses, such as think-alouds or self-explanations, can reveal valuable information about readers' comprehension strategies. The current study expands on the extant work by (1) investigating combinations and patterns of comprehension strategies that readers use and (2) examining the extent to which these patterns relate to…

Dyoniziak, Yann; Potocki, Anna; Rouet, Jean-François – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
With the development of the Internet as a main source of information, teenagers are increasingly faced with multiple documents which may contain contradictory statements, and whose reliability must be assessed. One way to assess information reliability is to evaluate the source of the information (e.g., author expertise, intention). However,…

Ekaterina Tskhovrebova; Sandrine Zufferey; Elena Tribushinina – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
Connectives such as "because" and "but" are crucial for signaling coherence relations in discourse. They contribute to a better reading comprehension and, thus, academic performance. The aim of this article is to contribute to our understanding of connective development during teenage years by studying individual differences in…

Sonia, Allison N.; Magliano, Joseph P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura, K. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 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…

Kleijn, Suzanne; Pander Maat, Henk L. W.; Sanders, Ted J. M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Studies investigating the effect of connectives on comprehension have yielded different results, most likely because of differences in methodology and limited samples of texts and readers. We added and removed causal, temporal, contrastive, and additive connectives in 20 authentic Dutch texts. Dutch adolescents (n = 794) differing in reading…

Schramm, Andreas; Haser, Verena; Mensink, Michael C.; Reifenrath, Jonas; Kassemi, Parinaz – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This research addresses implicit learning of temporal meanings in English by adult non-native readers of German, a language without morphosyntactic imperfective aspect. Twenty-four learners from mixed first languages participated in a norming study assessing unenhanced aspect awareness. Then, in a second experiment, 91 native-German learners…

Summarizing as a Strategy for Science Text Comprehension: Text-Based versus Content-Based Processing
Leopold, Claudia; Brückner, Annette; Dutke, Stephan – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
In this experiment, we contrasted two instructions in which the focus of summary writing was varied. We predicted that students would better understand a scientific text when they learn to focus their summaries on the referential content rather than on the hierarchical structure of the text. In a 2 × 2 factorial experiment, 85 Grade-10 students…

Kim, Kyung Ja; Pae, Tae-Il – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
The present study examined the complex structural relationships between the factors that influence L2 writing in more and less cognitively demanding tasks. To this end, 298 10th graders were recruited from a local high school in Korea. Participants completed tasks measuring L1 and L2 writing skills, L2 reading comprehension, L2 proficiency, L2…
