Currie, Nicola K.; Francey, Gillian; Davies, Robert; Gray, Shelley; Bridges, Mindy S.; Restrepo, Maria Adelaida; Thompson, Marilyn S.; Ciraolo, Margeaux F.; Hu, Jinxiang; Cain, Kate – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
We examined sixth graders' detection of inconsistencies in narrative and expository passages, contrasting participants who were monolingual speakers (N = 85) or Spanish-English DLLs (N = 94) when recruited in pre-kindergarten (PK). We recorded self-paced reading times and judgments about whether the text made sense, and took an independent measure…

Catrysse, Leen; Chauliac, Margot; Donche, Vincent; Gijbels, David – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This study examined the relationship between refutation texts and attention allocation by focusing on the interaction between important reader-and-text characteristics. Specifically, the authors investigated how prior knowledge and text-based interest affect attention allocation on refutation/control statements, topic, and explanatory and…

Maguet, McKenna Louise; Morrison, Timothy G.; Wilcox, Brad; Billen, Monica T. – Reading Psychology, 2021
Reading comprehension is the goal of reading, and making inferences is vital. Authors usually expect readers to make multiple types of inferences, including anaphoric, background knowledge, predictive, and retrospective. Common core assessments include all of these, yet instructional materials focus mostly on only one type, retrospective. This…

Chung-Fat-Yim, Ashley; Peterson, Jordan B.; Mar, Raymond A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
Previous studies on discourse have employed a self-paced sentence-by-sentence paradigm to present text and record reading times. However, presenting discourse this way does not mirror real-world reading conditions; for example, this paradigm prevents regressions to earlier portions of the text. The purpose of the present study is to investigate…

Kuperman, Victor; Matsuki, Kazunaga; Van Dyke, Julie A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
The present research presents a novel method for investigating how characteristics of texts (words, sentences, and passages) and individuals (verbal and general cognitive skills) jointly influence eye-movement patterns over the time-course of reading, as well as comprehension accuracy. Fifty-one proficient readers read passages of varying…

Lassonde, Karla A. – Discourse Processes: A multidisciplinary journal, 2015
Four experiments were designed to assess the presence and impact of stereotypical knowledge through an implicit measure of reading comprehension. In Experiments 1 and 3, participants read passages about protagonists in scenarios in which stereotypical knowledge was likely to become activated in memory. Following the descriptions, reading times for…

Perfetti, Charles; Stafura, Joseph – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
We reintroduce a wide-angle view of reading comprehension, the Reading Systems Framework, which places word knowledge in the center of the picture, taking into account the progress made in comprehension research and theory. Within this framework, word-to-text integration processes can serve as a model for the study of local comprehension…

Hamilton, Stephen T.; Freed, Erin M.; Long, Debra L. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The goal of this study was to examine predictions derived from the Lexical Quality Hypothesis regarding relations among word decoding, working-memory capacity, and the ability to integrate new concepts into a developing discourse representation. Hierarchical Linear Modeling was used to quantify the effects of three text properties (length,…

Margolin, Sara J. – Reading Psychology, 2013
Recent research on negation has demonstrated that while readers are aware that this text construction is difficult, they seem to be able to do little to improve their comprehension. The present research evaluated whether a change in typeface could improve comprehension and metacomprehension of negation. Results indicated that while readers were…

Cain, Kate; Nash, Hannah M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2011
Connectives are cohesive devices that signal the relations between clauses and are critical to the construction of a coherent representation of a text's meaning. The authors investigated young readers' knowledge, processing, and comprehension of temporal, causal, and adversative connectives using offline and online tasks. In a cloze task,…

White, Sheida – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2012
This article presents 34 characteristics of texts and tasks ("text features") that can make continuous (prose), noncontinuous (document), and quantitative texts easier or more difficult for adolescents and adults to comprehend and use. The text features were identified by examining the assessment tasks and associated texts in the national…

VanDyke, Justine M. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Adults are able to access semantic and syntactic information rapidly as they hear or read in real-time in order to interpret sentences. Young children, on the other hand, tend to rely on syntactically-based parsing routines, adopting the first noun as the agent of a sentence regardless of plausibility, at least during oral comprehension. Little is…

Todaro, Stacey; Millis, Keith; Dandotkar, Srikanth – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Readers apply their own standards of coherence while reading text. Readers with a low standard of coherence are thought to find a sparse and incomplete representation more coherent than readers who employ a higher standard. This article reports 3 experiments that examined standards of coherence imposed by skilled and less-skilled readers by having…

Ren, Gui-Qin; Yang, Yufang – Journal of Research in Reading, 2010
In an eye-tracking experiment, we investigated whether and how a comma influences the reading of Chinese sentences comprised of different types of syntactic constituent such as word, phrase and clause. Participants read Chinese sentences that did or did not insert a comma at the end of a syntactic constituent. The results showed that the fixation…

Rawson, Katherine A.; Middleton, Erica L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
A widespread theoretical assumption is that many processes involved in text comprehension are automatic, with automaticity typically defined in terms of properties (e.g., speed, effort). In contrast, the authors advocate for conceptualization of automaticity in terms of underlying cognitive mechanisms and evaluate one prominent account, the…
