Frameworks for Comprehending Discourse: A Replication Study.
Sjogren, Douglas; Timpson, William
American Educational Research Journal, v16 n4 p341-46 Fall 1979
This study replicates findings of a study reported by Anderson et al. (EJ 184 138). Interpretation of ambiguously worded paragraphs was related to sex and college major. Titles on the paragraphs reduced ambiguity, although some students still gave an interpretation that was not consistent with the title. (Author/CP)
