During the last 20 years, there has been an enormous amount of
research examining sources of coherence in reading. A major tenet
of this work has been the distinction between two major sources of
coherence. "Text-based" sources of coherence are contained within
the text itself -- use of headings to indicate aspects of a text's
macrostructure; "reader-based" sources of coherence encompass the
information and strategies that the reader brings to the
comprehension process. Many early models of reading comprehension
emphasized text-based sources of coherence as a way of
understanding how a representation of the text is constructed in
memory. However, during the last decade, there has been a clear
shift of theoretical perspective away from viewing reading
comprehension as a process of representing a text to viewing
comprehension as a process of representing what a text is about.
This has led to a greater emphasis on reader-based sources of
coherence. The purpose of this book is to bring together the large
body of evidence addressing the roles of text-based and
reader-based sources of coherence in reading comprehension. The
contributors present the current state of cognitive theory and
research on comprehension of discourse.
