Text Processing and Feedback
In studies on the effects of feedback on text comprehension, it was determined that text content interacts differentially with the feedback provided. Specifically, the types of memorial representations sought must be considered in terms of type of text, feedback timing, frequency, and modality
Memorial Representations as a Product of Feedback and Text Variants
This study examined the effects of feedback on several memorial representations of a text. Subjects were given either of two variant texts describing a mythical town. One version (route) describes the town as a driver might encounter it, while the other (survey) describes the town using spatial referents. Each version is 25 sentences long and is presented one sentence at a time to control the reading process. For each text version, after reading …
Assisting Text Processing
42 undergraduates were presented one of two 25-sentence versions of a fictitious town. One version (route) described the town as a driver might encounter it, while the other (survey) received a geographic description. Sentences were printed one to a card and read aloud. Feedback included (1) limited access to a map, (2) limited opportunity to review previously read sentences, or (3) presentation of entire text after processing. Memorial represent…
Instructional Feedback in Context
Feedback is often used to assist instruction but different situations may call for different kinds of feedback. This analysis of the varieties of task, of feedback mode, and of learner is intended to encourage the use of feedback in specifically appropriate situations and to begin systematizing the empirical validation of relevant parameters
A Note on Feedback in Discourse Processing
Feedback strategies designed to assist discourse processing seem differentially effective with respect to levels of memorial representation
Feedback, Concordance, and Text Comprehension
Research on the effects of sentence-order feedback on text processing has shown that agreement between the order of original text and either (1) the order of reconstructed text or (2) recall of text does not influence amount of recall. Students' processing of text is a function of too many uncertain variables to permit endorsements of simple association models of instructional assistance
Text Cueing and Comprehension
This is one in a series of studies concerned with the effectiveness of instructional assistance on comprehension of scrambled text. Subjects were General Psychology students at the University of Colorado. Subjects reconstructed one of two 26-sentence passages with the aid of signalling sentences which assisted in determining the original sequence. These sentences were placed in proper order prior to the reconstruction task. A third group of subje…
Effect of Content on Feedback in Processing Discourse
Some Possible Limitations of Feedback in Instruction
This study explored the effect of varying amounts of feedback on the reconstruction of scrambled text. The subjects were undergraduate psychology students at the University of Colorado. Half the subjects reconstructed a 26-sentence passage dealing with Watergate, while the other half read either the same scrambled version or the original passage. The independent variables were amount of feedback available, reconstructing or reading, and time of t…
Reconstruction of Text and Feedback
Subjects reconstructed two sets of scrambled discourse of 26 sentences each. Subjects were either given no feedback or limited feedback as confirmation-disconfirmation, with retrieval either immediate or delayed one week. Memory was measured as recall of idea units and recognition of original sentences from paraphrases. Concordance was measured by relationship to the original sentence order. Recall was not related to any of the independent variab…
A Text Synthesis Approach to Feedback
The text synthesis method was used to examine effects of corrective feedback, length of passage, and content on text comprehension as measured by recall and recognition. Two randomly ordered passages from the biography of Enrico Fermi of 13 and 19 sentences each were presented. Subjects rearranged the sentences to reconstruct meaningful texts. Feedback did not influence recall, recognition, or concordance with the original order. Retrieval was no…
