Abstract

Although frequently used with expository texts, illustrations can lead to illusions of understanding. When students studied geoscience texts without sketching, both comprehension and monitoring were poor if only some topics in a set were illustrated. However, when students were prompted to generate a sketch while reading, both comprehension and monitoring were improved by sketching.

Keyphrases: Metacomprehension, Multimedia, comprehension, expository text, learning from text
