Three Information Functions of Headings
Text signals include a wide variety of writing devices that emphasize specific content within a text, the organization of a text, or both (Lorch, 1989 Lorch, R. F. Jr. 1989. Text signaling devices and their effects on reading and memory processes. Educational Psychology Review, 1: 209–234. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Meyer, 1975 Meyer, B. J.

The effects of readers’ goals on inference generation and memory for texts
Memory‐based text processing
Memory‐based text processing (MBP) is a label that has been used to refer to a theoretical perspective shared by contributors to this special issue. My objectives in this article are (a) to define the domain addressed by MBP; (b) to identify the major, shared assumptions of researchers representing the MBP perspective; and (c) to raise some challenges for MBP researchers
Network representations of causal relations in memory for narrative texts
This study investigated how adult readers represent causal relations among events in a narrative. Existing models of text comprehension describe the representation either as a linear chain of text components that are adjacent in the surface structure of the text or as a network that includes relations between nonadjacent as well as adjacent text components. These models were tested in three priming experiments. In each experiment subjects read br…
Regression analyses of repeated measures data in cognitive research.
Task effects and individual differences in on‐line processing of the topic structure of a text
Do experienced readers alter their processing of topics in a text according to task demands? Subjects read a text in preparation for a task that either emphasized topic information (outlining) or did not emphasize topic information (verification). Reading times were recorded for sentences which introduced either major or minor shifts of text topics. Subjects read topic sentences more slowly if they introduced major topic shifts, but the magnitude…
On‐line processing of summary and importance signals in reading
How do readers respond to signals in a text that certain information is relevant? Subjects in Experiment 1 read texts a sentence at a time while their reading times were recorded for specific target sentences. Subjects took longer to read a summary sentence if the preceding sentence signaled it as a summary than if no preceding signal was provided. Further, the effect of signaling a summary was larger for poor readers than for good readers. There…
