Peer reviewedBritton, Bruce K.; Gulgoz, Sami – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Principles of W. Kintsch's reading comprehension model (1978, 1980) were used to revise an expository text. Two experiments with 170 undergraduates and 125 Air Force recruits indicated that the principled revision conveyed the author's intentions better than the original text, suggesting the model's use for text improvement.
