The Skills of Document Use: From Text Comprehension to Web-Based
Learning examines functional literacy from a psychological
standpoint. It offers a comprehensive discussion of the cognitive
skills involved in reading, comprehending, and making use of
complex documents. Understanding such skills is important at times
when printed and online information systems are being used more and
more extensively for work, education, and personal development. It
is also very important to understand how the Internet transforms
the way we search, read, and comprehend documents. The core purpose
of the book is to inform research scientists, students, and
instructional designers about recent advances in the psychology of
document comprehension. Whereas reading research has mostly focused
on basic cognitive processes involved in simple comprehension
tasks, this book extends the psychology of reading to more complex,
real-life comprehension activities. The book draws a link between
research areas usually separated: language psychology, on the one
hand, and Web design, on the other hand. The work also attempts to
bridge a gap between research in cognitive psychology and practical
issues in the design and use of information systems. It invites the
reader to a guided journey from theoretical models of text
comprehension to concrete issues in the design and use of
instructional technology. The book will be of interest to students
specializing in psychology, language, communication, and
publishing. It will also be useful to all those who are involved in
the training of literacy skills, or in the design of information
systems accessible to a wide audience.
