Direct linkSophia C. Weissgerber; Denia Indah Permatasari Terhorst; Ralf Rummer – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
According to an aptitude-treatment interaction experiment (Lehmann et al., "Metacognition and Learning, 11," 89-105, 2016, N = 47, published in "Metacognition and Learning"), perceptually disfluent texts facilitated retention and comprehension performance (but not transfer performance) only for learners with higher working…

Oakhill, Jane – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
A substantial amount of research has focused on children's reading development and reading problems, but in comparison there has been relatively little research into children's reading comprehension. This article provides an overview of the research that has investigated the skills and cognitive processes that support children's understanding of…

Margolin, Sara J.; Snyder, Natasha; Thamboo, Pradeep – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2018
The present research aimed to determine the circumstances under which comprehension between paper and e-readers is comparable and what role working memory plays in successful comprehension of text presented in these formats. Narrative and expository texts were presented in electronic and paper formats to determine whether readers glean different…

Kelso, Katrina; Whitworth, Anne; Leitão, Suze – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
This study aimed to profile the sublexical, lexical, and text level language skills, and cognitive processes of a sub-group of children with poor reading comprehension known as poor comprehenders. An assessment protocol was developed to assess each of the components from Perfetti and Stafura's Reading Systems Framework. A comprehensive profile was…

Blom, Helen; Segers, Eliane; Knoors, Harry; Hermans, Daan; Verhoeven, Ludo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
This study aims to investigate secondary school students' reading comprehension and navigation of networked hypertexts with and without a graphic overview compared to linear digital texts. Additionally, it was studied whether prior knowledge, vocabulary, verbal, and visual working memory moderated the relation between text design and…

Artuso, Caterina; Carretti, Barbara; Palladino, Paola – School Psychology International, 2019
This study analyzed the potential transfer effects on reading comprehension skills of two different training programs administered to 9- to 10-year-old children attending fourth grade classes. One training program was based on a working memory updating paradigm (i.e., words, digits, sentence and text updating working memory tasks). The other…

Margolin, Sara J. – Educational Gerontology, 2015
The present research aimed to examine young and older adults' comprehension of negated text to determine the locus of older adults' difficulty in understanding this text construction. Participants were asked to read short passages at their own pace, complete a lexical decision task, and answer a comprehension question about what they had read.…

Burin, Debora I.; Barreyro, Juan P.; Saux, Gastón; Irrazábal, Natalia C. – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2015
Introduction: In contemporary information societies, reading digital text has become pervasive. One of the most distinctive features of digital texts is their internal connections via hyperlinks, resulting in non-linear hypertexts. Hypertext structure and previous knowledge affect navigation and comprehension of digital expository texts. From the…

Dutke, Stephan; Baadte, Christiane; Hahnel, Andrea; von Hecker, Ulrich; Rinck, Mike – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
During reading, the model of the situation described by the text is continuously accommodated to new text input. The hypothesis was tested that readers are particularly sensitive to diagnostic text information that can be used to constrain their existing situation model. In 3 experiments, adult participants read narratives about social situations…
