Variable Inspection Time as an Indicator of Cognitive Reading Behaviors.
Grabe, Mark
Contemporary Educational Psychology, v6 n4 p334-43 Oct 1981

Text information related to reading goals was more likely to be retained. Results are explained in terms of storage demands imposed by each category of reading goal. (Author/RD)
