Strategic Production of Predictive Inferences During Comprehension
Although some types of inferences are mandatory for readers, predictive inferences (inferences for what will happen next) are generally considered elaborative or optional. Three experiments measuring probe word lexical decision latencies produced evidence for the online generation of predictive inferences during narrative text comprehension. Participants read passages that were designed to elicit inferences about what would happen next at a certa…
Gender and race in predicting achievement in computer science
In the study described here, 65 prospective computer or information science majors worked through a tutorial on the basics of Perl. Eighteen students were African American. All actions were recorded and time-stamped, allowing us to investigate the relationship among six factors that we believed would predict performance in an introductory computer science (CS) course (as measured by course grade) and how much students would learn from the tutoria…
When Metaphors Function as Schemas: Some Cognitive Effects of Conceptual Metaphors
The nature of metaphor, the processes of metaphor comprehension, and the functions of metaphor are identified as three distinct issues for metaphor research. It is suggested that the strengths and weaknesses of current theories of metaphor are dependent on the type of metaphor being examined, with each theory providing a plausible account for some kinds of metaphors but not for others. Recent research on the possible functions of metaphor is disc…
