Book Description:

The usual topics that cognitive psychology and cognitive science deal with- attention, memory, problem-solving- all play a role in comprehension. These areas inform the theory of comprehension, and, at the same time , the theory of comprehension has broad implications for all cognition. Walter Kintsch presents a theory of comprehension that aims to explain how readers understand a text. He then uses his theory of text comprehension as a general model for looking at other cognitive processes.
