What is text understanding?
It is the dynamic process of constructing coherent representations
and inferences at multiple levels of text and context, within the
bottleneck of a limited-capacity working memory.
The field of text and discourse has advanced to the point where
researchers have developed sophisticated models of comprehension,
and identified the particular assumptions that underlie
comprehension mechanisms in precise analytical or mathematical
detail. The models offer "a priori" predictions about thought and
behavior, not merely "ad hoc" descriptions of data. Indeed, the
field has evolved to a mature science.
The contributors to this volume collectively cover the major
models of comprehension in the field of text and discourse. Other
books are either narrow -- covering only a single theoretical
framework -- or do not focus on systematic modeling efforts. In
addition, this book focuses on deep levels of understanding rather
than language codes, syntax, and other shallower levels of text
analysis. As such, it provides readers with up-to-date information
on current psychological models specified in quantitative or
analytical detail.
