Shifting the Coherence Threshold

EasyChair Preprint 3688

Abstract

Within the RI-Val model of reading comprehension, the coherence threshold marks the point at which the reader has deemed comprehension sufficient to move on in a text. Previous research has demonstrated that the readers’ coherence threshold can be manipulated by increasing task-demands (Williams et al., 2018) or including text-based disruption in coherence (Sonia & O’Brien, in prep). The goal of the current research was to investigate the resetting of the coherence threshold to baseline.

Keyphrases: memory-based text processing, misinformation, reading comprehension
