This volume tells the story of research on the cognitive
processes of writing from the perspectives of the early pioneers,
the contemporary contributors, and visions of the future for the
field.
Writing processes yield important insights into human cognition,
and is increasingly becoming a mainstream topic of investigation in
cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Technological
advances have made it possible to study cognitive writing processes
as writing unfolds in real time. This book provides an introduction
to these technologies.
The first part of the volume provides the historical context for
the significance of writing research for contemporary cognitive
psychology and honors the pioneers in cognitive and
social-cognitive research in this field. The book then explores the
rapidly expanding work on the social foundations of cognitive
processes in writing and considers not only gender differences but
also gender similarities in writing. The third part presents a
lifespan view of writing in early and middle childhood,
adolescence, higher education, and the world of work. There follows
an examination of the relationships of language processes at the
word, sentence, and text levels to the cognitive processes in
writing. Part V covers representative research on the cognitive
processes of writing translation and reviewing and revision and the
working memory mechanisms that support those processes. A review of
the current technologies used to study these cognitive processes
on-line as they happen in real time is provided. Part VII provides
an introduction to the emerging new field of the cognitive
neuroscience of writing made possible by the rapidly evolving brain
imaging technologies, which are interpretable in reference to
paradigms in cognitive psychology of writing. The final section of
the book offers visions of the future of writing research from the
perspective of contemporary leaders in writing research.
