Researchers from a variety of disciplines have collected verbal
protocols of reading as a window on conscious reading processes.
Because such work has occurred in different disciplines, many who
have conducted verbal protocol analyses have been unaware of the
research of others. This volume brings together the existing
literature from the various fields in which verbal protocols of
reading have been generated. In so doing, the authors provide an
organized catalog of all conscious verbal processes reported in
studies to date -- the most complete analysis of conscious reading
now available in the literature.
When the results of all of the studies are considered, there is
clear support for a number of models of reading comprehension
including reader response theories, schema perspectives, executive
processing models, and bottom-up approaches such as the one
proposed by van Dijk and Kintsch. The summary of results also
demonstrates that none of the existing models goes far enough.
Thus, a new framework -- constructively responsive reading -- is
described. This new model encompasses reader response, schematic
and executive processing, and induction from word- and phrase-level
comprehension to higher-order meaning. The important concept in
this new model is that readers respond to bits and pieces of text
as they are encountered, all as part of the overarching goal of
constructing meaning from text.
This volume also includes a critical review of the thinking aloud
methodology as it has been used thus far. This examination suggests
that it continues to be an immature methodology, and that much work
is needed if a complete theory of conscious processing during
reading is to be developed via verbal protocol analysis. Finally,
after reviewing what has been accomplished to date, the authors
provide extensive discussion of the work that remains to be done
and the adequacy of the verbal protocol methodology for permitting
telling conclusions about text processing.
