On-line assessment of comprehension processes

2009

In this paper we describe a new version of a former paper-and-pencil standardized comprehension test called Test of Comprehension Processes (Vidal-Abarca, Gilabert, Martínez, & Sellés, 2007). The new version has been adapted to a computer-based environment based on the moving window technique. It can be used to assess comprehension strategies of students from fifth to tenth grades (11 to 16 years old). Comprehension strategies are registered on-line using reading times and visits to relevant sections of the text during the question-answering process. Data show that the computerbased version draws similar results to those provided by the paper-and-pencil version. In addition, we identify the…

The same (as what?)

2018

Aquest article adopta un enfocament radicalment contextualista en relació amb la referència de descripcions definides que contenen l?expressió anglesa the same, tant sense complement com amb complement en forma de nucli nominal i/o de sintagma comparatiu del tipus as X. S?argumenta que les descripcions definides que contenen the same no fan referència a una entitat única, encara que el resultat de la prova de comprensió efectuada sembla donar suport a la idea que aquestes descripcions poden afavorir la interpretació que aquests sintagmes definits es refereixen directament a una entitat específica.

The inattentive on-screen reading: Reading medium affects attention and reading comprehension under time pressure

2021

This study explored the influence of reading media and reading time-frame on readers' on-task attention, metacognitive calibration, and reading comprehension. One hundred and forty undergraduates were allocated to one of four experimental conditions varying on the reading medium (in print vs. on screen) and on the reading time-frame (free vs. pressured time). Readers' mindwandering while reading, prediction of performance on a comprehension test, and their text comprehension were measured. In-print readers, but not on-screen readers, mindwandered less on the pressured than in the free time condition, indicating higher task adaptation in print. Accordingly, on-screen readers in the pressured…
