Reading from the Perspective of a Biological Metaphor.
Royer, James M.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v10 n2 p150-200 Apr 1985
This paper proposes a reading model based on the metaphorical usage of neurobiological knowledge. The basic units, organization, and functioning of the Nurogen Model are described. The model's empirical scope is discussed focusing on letter and word perception, theme effects in comprehension, and the influences of text characteristics upon comprehension. (Author/BS)
