Memory-Based Processing in Understanding Causal Information.

Noordman, Leo G. M.; Vonk, Wietske

Discourse Processes, v26 n2-3 p191-212 1998

Focuses on the role of cognitive structures in the reader's knowledge. Argues that causality is an important category in structuring human knowledge and that this property has consequences for text processing. Discusses research illustrating that the more the information in the text reflects causal categories, the more easily the information is processed. (SR)
