Cirilo, Randolph K. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1981
Presents study focusing on creation of referential ties during comprehension and the effect of a text's global structure on this process. Results show that manipulations of distance between two referentially linked propositions and the structural height of the earlier proposition influence the ease with which comprehension occurs.

Eddy, John K.; Glass, Arnold L. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1981
Presents study performed to clarify the role that imagery plays in sentence understanding. Results show that reading selectively interferes with comprehension of high-imagery sentences and demonstrates that sentence comprehension is not a process that is independent of the decoding stage.
