Toward a Model of Text Comprehension and Production.
Kintsch, Walter; Van Dijk, Teun A.
Psychological Review, v85 n5 p363-94 Sep 1978
Described is the system of mental operations occurring in text comprehension and in recall and summarization. A processing model is outlined: 1) the meaning elements of a text become organized into a coherent whole, 2) the full meaning of the text is condensed into its gist, and 3) new texts are generated from the comprehension processes.
