Study Notes
The Construction-Integration (CI) Model
- The CI model is a general theory of comprehension that has evolved from studying story comprehension and memory for text.
- The model focuses on how information in a text is combined with and integrated into the reader's knowledge and personal experiences.
- The model uses a long-term memory network of propositions to represent knowledge.
- Propositions from this network are added to the text representation in two ways: through templates and through reading goals/task demands.
- The model uses a working memory buffer to store the current state of processing and a long-term memory store to represent the accumulated knowledge.
First Mention vs. Recency: Priming Effects
- The study by Gernsbacher, Hargreaves, and Beeman (1989) explored the effect of first mention and recency on priming, finding a recency advantage for immediate tests and a first mention advantage for delayed tests.
- The CI model can simulate these results by considering the activation levels of nodes in working memory and long-term memory.
- The simulation shows that the recency advantage for concurrent test conditions is due to the stronger activation of the recently mentioned participant in working memory.
- The first mention advantage for delayed tests arises because first-mentioned participants are linked to stronger nodes in long-term memory.
Matching Effects: Contextual Semantic Elaboration
- The study by McKoon and Ratcliff (1981) demonstrated a matching effect where words previously activated in the text have a higher probability of being accessed on a subsequent task.
- The CI model accounts for this by simulating the contextual semantic elaboration that occurs during sentence processing.
- The simulation shows that the matching effect is a byproduct of comprehension because of the increased activation of concepts that have been semantically elaborated on during processing.
Conclusion
- The CI model can account for the results of the priming experiments observed in the studies by Gernsbacher et al. (1989) and McKoon and Ratcliff (1981).
- The model does not require additional assumptions to explain these phenomena.
- The simulations showcase the model's ability to provide explicit mechanisms for the processes involved in comprehension.
