First Published in 1986. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Originally published in 1985, the various chapters in this volume
give examples of research on all three aspects of text
understanding - namely, structure, world knowledge and process.
More than this, however, the research described represents a shift
in emphasis from studying stories, which dominated the field in the
late 1970s, to studying expository text. This focus on stories was
probably due to the essential first step in any science of
examining the simplest materials possible. However, the editors
thought that it was time to shift the research focus from stories
to expository text and this volume is their attempt to provide this
transition.
Originally published in 1985, the chapters in this volume
collectively approach the phenomenon of questioning from many
perspectives. There are studies on question comprehension, question
answering, question asking and the influence of adjunct questions
on text comprehension and memory. The chapters cover different
theories, models, methods, and practical applications. Some
contributors focus exclusively on adult subjects, whereas other
examine cognitive development in children. The earlier chapters in
the book have a "pure science" emphasis, whereas the later chapters
have an "applied" emphasis. Of course, the distinction between
science and application had, in the editors' words, become "very
fuzzy" in the years prior to publication.

Presenting studies of human cognition in situations that involve
co-operation, expecially situations involving human-computer
interaction, this volume aims to find a common thread. The concept
sought is one that underlies co-operative behaviour and that is
apparent in studies of human cognition, analyses of co-operative
systems, and designs of distributed computing systems.
