On Cognitive Strategies for Processing Text.

Abstract

Recent developments in cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence have resulted in a new kind of model for conceptual processing, called procedural semantics. In this report, a framework is laid for the application of the procedural semantics formalism to the analysis of conceptually-driven processing reading. According to this theory, two different types of conceptual processing units (called schemata) are responsible for conceptually-driven processing in reading. One type is the form-schema. The other type is the content-schema. Models for a small number of specific form- and content-schemata are proposed, and certain experimental and observational evidence is explained in terms of these models. Implications for effective strategies for adult reading are derived from the premises of the model.
