Reading is one of the most complex and uniquely human of cognitive activities. Our understanding of the processes and factors involved in text comprehension is quite impressive, but it also is fragmented, with a proliferation of “mini-theories” for specific components that in reality are intertwined and interact with one another.

Abstract The semantic and pragmatic strategies in the comprehension of spoken texts are investigated in four subgroups of aphasic patients and in normal and brain-damaged controls. Short texts of similar linguistic structure were read to the subjects, who were required to choose the picture, from a multiple choice set of five, that was appropriate to

Text Comprehensiveness Ranking
2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT), 2015When we use a search engine to find interesting texts for read, we often find something that could be too difficult to follow or too easy for us to learn anything interesting. In this work, we propose an algorithm for text ranking based on the text comprehensiveness, such as we can rank texts from the most difficult one to the easiest one.

Literary quality is defined in terms of unity, coherence and emphasis. Reader perceptions are defined as 1) ideas readers see in text; 2) the perceived importance of each of those ideas; 3) perceived familiarity of each ...

Concept Learning in Text Comprehension
2010This paper presents a mechanism to reverse engineer a cognitive concept association graph (CAG) which is formed by a reader while reading a piece of text. During text comprehension a human reader recognizes some concepts and skips some. The recognized concepts are retained to construct the meaning of the read text while the other concepts are discarded.

Information Processing & Management, 1993
Abstract The importance of software documentation and the effects of poor documentation in data processing are often underrated. Little research has been published that evaluates the quality of software documentation. The evaluation of textual attributes such as comprehensibility, readability, etc., has seen more studies and relatively sound results.
