Wassenburg, Stephanie I.; de Koning, Björn B.; Bos, Lisanne T.; van der Schoot, Menno – Educational Psychology, 2020
This study investigated whether presenting a picture before reading can encourage situation-model construction. We compared two conditions (n = 30) which differed in whether a picture of the initial situation described in a narrative text was presented before reading (i.e. pictorial-support condition) or not (i.e. no-picture condition).…

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…

The paper observes and documents the…

Embodying two themes--that the computer can become an even more exciting instructional tool than it is today, and that the research necessary for developing the potential of this tool is already underway, this book explores the theoretical, research, and instructional issues concerning computers and reading. The titles of the essays and their…
