Comprehension Processes in Reading

by David A. Balota (editor), G.B. Flores D'Arcais (Editor), Keith Rayner (Editor)

"Comprehension Processes in Reading" addresses the interrelationship among several areas relevant to understanding how people comprehend text. The contributors focus on the on-line processes associated with text understanding rather than simply with the product of that comprehension -- what people remember from reading.
Presenting the latest theories and research findings from a distinguished group of contributors, "Comprehension Processes in Reading" is divided into four major sections. Each section, concluding with a commentary chapter, discusses a different aspect of reader understanding or dysfunction such as individual word comprehension, sentence parsing, text comprehension, and comprehension failures and dyslexia .
