Altun, Dilek – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2021
Advanced technology and the shift to a digital childhood have dramatically reshaped children's early life experiences. Children's literacy experiences are also evolving; in addition to printed storybooks, children are now exposed to electronic stories (e-stories). While previous studies have addressed the effects of e-stories on children's…

Sue, Chee Hao; Thang, Siew Ming; Wong, Hoo Keat; Tan, Jennifer Poh Sim; Loo, Fung Lan; Ahju, Rosalind – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
Many studies have been conducted on the development of young children; however, not many have explored the cognitive processes of prereaders. The eye-tracker has been used with success to investigate the cognitive processes of young children abroad, but such studies are lacking in Malaysia. This study used an experimental procedure created with…

Dore, Rebecca A.; Amendum, Steven J.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Educational Psychology Review, 2018
Theory of mind is the understanding that other people have mental states that drive their actions and that those mental states can be different from one's own. Without understanding theory of mind and being able to take others' perspectives, it could be difficult for children to read and understand narrative texts. This paper posits that…

Dore, Rebecca A.; Amendum, Steven J.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Grantee Submission, 2018
Theory of mind is the understanding that other people have mental states that drive their actions and that those mental states can be different from one's own. Without understanding theory of mind and being able to take others' perspectives, it could be difficult for children to read and understand narrative texts. This paper posits that…

Gouldthorp, Bethanie; Katsipis, Lia; Mueller, Cara – Reading Research Quarterly, 2018
To date, little is known about the high-level language skills and cognitive processes underlying reading comprehension in children. The present study aimed to investigate whether children with high, compared with low, reading comprehension differ in their sequencing skill, which was defined as the ability to identify and recall the temporal order…

Horowitz-Kraus, Tzipi; Buck, Catherine; Dorrmann, Dana – Annals of Dyslexia, 2016
Narrative comprehension is a linguistic ability that is foundational for future reading ability. The aim of the current study was to examine the neural circuitry of children with reading difficulties (RD) compared to typical readers during a narrative-comprehension task. We hypothesized that due to deficient executive functions, which support…

Gillam, Sandra Laing; Gillam, Ronald B. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2016
Narrative language proficiency is a critical contributor to academic success for school-aged students. This article presents a narrative language intervention, Supporting Knowledge in Language and Literacy (SKILL), that is based on research in the fields of developmental psycholinguistics and discourse processing. SKILL was designed to provide…

Connectives as Processing Signals: How Students Benefit in Processing Narrative and Expository Texts
van Silfhout, Gerdineke; Evers-Vermeul, Jacqueline; Sanders, Ted – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2015
Many young readers fail to construct a proper mental text representation, often due to a lack of higher-order skills such as making integrative and inferential links. In an eye-tracking experiment among 141 Dutch eighth graders, we tested whether coherence markers (moreover, after, because) improve students' online processing and their off-line…

Morrow, Daniel G. – Journal of Memory and Language, 1985
Describes experiments on how readers understand a narrative. Results suggest that readers combine information about the characters, events, and places with information about their order of mention in order to assign referents and that this is part of the process of constructing a model that represents the narrative description.

Omanson, Richard C. – Discourse Processes, 1982
Presents an analysis of prose narratives that allows content to be identified as central and provides a priori rationale for why the content is central. Investigates which content is supportive of, or distracting to, the central content. (FL)

Britton, Bruce K.; And Others – Discourse Processes, 1983
Use of cognitive capacity was measured during reading of text in six experiments. Results were consistent with a comprehensibility theory stating that when more meaning is produced in reader's cognitive system while reading a text, more cognitive capacity is filled by reading it. (FL)

Haberlandt, Karl; Bingham, Geoffrey – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1978
Comprehensibility ratings and sentence-by-sentence reading times of three-sentence narratives (triples) were studied as a function of the coherence of a triple. In both experiments, reading times did not differ for first sentences, but were longer for third sentences of unrelated than for related triples. (Author/RM)

Fuller, Renee – Whole Earth Review, 1992
This article considers the role of the basic cognitive unit, called the "story engram," in young children's learning to read, including children ranging in ability from severe mental retardation to giftedness. It illustrates how the "Ball-Stick-Bird" method of beginning reading can facilitate this process because of the…
