Allen, Laura Kristen; Magliano, Joseph P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Sonia, Allison N.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
The current study examined the extent to which the cohesion detected in readers' constructed responses to multiple documents was predictive of persuasive, source-based essay quality. Participants (N=95) completed multiple-documents reading tasks wherein they were prompted to think-aloud, self-explain, or evaluate the sources while reading a set of…

Successful text comprehension requires readers to engage in a number of coherence-building processes. This study examined how analyzing the cohesion of students 'constructed responses can be used to evaluate these coherence-building processes and the extent to which they vary across readers' individual differences and across types of texts. We…

Sonia, Allison N.; Joseph, Magliano P.; McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Creer, Sarah D.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura K. – Grantee Submission, 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…

Dascalu, Mihai; Allen, Laura K.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Trausan-Matu, Stefan; Crossley, Scott A. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Dialogism provides the grounds for building a comprehensive model of discourse and it is focused on the multiplicity of perspectives (i.e., voices). Dialogism can be present in any type of text, while voices become themes or recurrent topics emerging from the discourse. In this study, we examine the extent that differences between…

Allen, Laura K.; Jacovina, Matthew E.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study investigates how cohesion manifests in readers' thought processes while reading texts when they are instructed to engage in self-explanation, a strategy associated with deeper, more successful comprehension. In Study 1, college students (n = 21) were instructed to either paraphrase or self-explain science texts. Paraphrasing was…

Higgs, Karyn; Magliano, Joseph P.; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Martínez, Tomas; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2015
Some individual difference factors are more strongly correlated with performance on postreading questions when the text is not available than when it is. The present study explores if similar interactions occur with bridging skill, which refers to a reader's propensity to establish connections between explicit text during reading. Undergraduates…
