Corrin Moss; Sharon Kwabi; Scott P. Ardoin; Katherine S. Binder – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
The ability to form a mental model of a text is an essential component of successful reading comprehension (RC), and purpose for reading can influence mental model construction. Participants were assigned to one of two conditions during an RC test to alter their purpose for reading: concurrent (texts and questions were presented simultaneously)…

Amanda C. Miller; Irene Adjei; Hannah Christensen – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Mind wandering occurs when a reader's thoughts are unrelated to the text's ideas. We examined the relation between mind wandering and readers' memory for text. More specifically, we assessed whether mind wandering inhibits the reader's development of the situation model and thus their ability to identify and recall the text's most central ideas.…

Yeari, Menahem; Lantin, Shirley – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The present study employed a think-aloud method to explore the origin of a centrality deficit (i.e., poor recall of central ideas) found in poor comprehenders (PC). Moreover, utilizing the diverse think-aloud responses, we examined the overall quality of text processing employed by PC during reading, in order to shed more light on the cognitive…
