Models of reading according to Perfetti and Stafura (2014)[1]:
- Reader's situation model (Van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983): "concerning an enriched level of comprehension beyond the literalmeaning of a text"
- Construction-integration (C-I) model (Kintsch, 1988): "about the cognitive dynamics of text comprehension"
Processes during reading[]
The first principle: reading is organized into multiple cycles
- From Kintsch (1988)[2]: "Text comprehension is assumed to be organized in cycles, roughly corresponding to short sentences or phrases (for further detail, see Kintsch & van Dijk, 1978[3]; Miller & Kintsch, 1980[4]). In each cycle a new net is constructed, including whatever is carried over in the short-term buffer from the previous cycle. [...] The highly activated nodes constitute the discourse representation formed on each processing cycle. In principle, it includes information at many levels: lexical nodes, text propositions, knowledge-based elaborations (i.e., various types of inferences), as well as macropropositions."
Second principle (or rather supported assumption): immediacy
- From Perfetti et al. (2007)[5]: " the evidence suggests that a reader processes each word immediately, to the extent possible, rather than taking a ‘wait and see’ approach. The immediacy assumption, derived from studies of eye movements during reading, expresses this immediate processing idea at a general level (Just & Carpenter, 1992). At the level of syntax, very different theories about how words are attached to syntactic structures (Frazier & Clifton, 1996; MacDonald, Perlmutter, & Seidenberg, 1994) agree on the conclusion that each word is immediately attached to a syntactic phrase. Referential integration of a word’s meaning with a semantic representation of the text, which maintains comprehension of the situation described by the text, may also be achieved by immediate attachment."
Third principle: two levels of representation -- text-base and situation model
From O'Brien and Cook: "Within all current models of discourse comprehension there is the assumption that readers generate at least two levels of representation of a text."
Coherence[]
Local vs. global coherence[]
From O'Brien and Cook:
To maintain global coherence, two theories make diverging prediction:
- Strategy-based models: readers actively search long-term memory for relevant information
- Memory-based models: inactive information is activated by a passive resonance mechanism
Evidences strongly support memory-based models (O'Brien and Cook).
Devices of coherence[]
- Coreference by Repetition: to establish overlapping arguments
- Example from Perfetti et al. (2007)[5]: "The flight attendant had just served a completely full glass of red wine to the passenger when suddenly the plane hit turbulence which spilled the wine. The spilled wine stained the passenger’s pants."
- Coreference by Pronoun: see Garnham (1999); Tyler & Marslen-Wilson (1982)
- Coreference by Semantic paraphrase:
- Example from Perfetti et al. (2007)[5]: "The flight attendant had just served a completely full glass of red wine to the passenger when suddenly the plane hit turbulence that emptied the glass. The spilled wine stained the passenger’s pants."
- Coreference by noun phrase (not paraphrase but somehow specify the entity):
- Example from Gerber and Chai (2012)[6]: "Carpet King sales are up 4% this year,” said owner Richard Rippe. He added that the company has been manufacturing carpet since 1967."
- Inference making: full glass of wine + turbulence = spilled wine
- Example from Perfetti et al. (2007)[5]: "The flight attendant had just served a completely full glass of red wine to the passenger when suddenly the plane hit turbulence. The spilled wine stained the passenger’s pants."
