Rereading text: Words and their context

摘要: Two experiments examined recent claims thai rereading benefits are mediated by abstract word-level representations (Carr, Brown, & Charalambous, 1989) and subject to the reader's focus of attention (Carr 1990). The effect prior reading history was measured when readers reread a normal text they scrambled word version texl. either with or versions. In Experiment I were oriented surface level processing Greek letter detection task while reading. 2 message later sum- marizing requirement. Results indicated that transfer is context specific, this specificity resistant influences attention. Transfer displays variable, usually nonspecific, perhaps open attentional strategy. We argue lexical contributions cannot be assessed use measures at different linguistic levels.
