Effects of Organizational Signals on Text-Processing Strategies.
Lorch, Robert F., Jr.; Lorch, Elizabeth Pugzles
Journal of Educational Psychology, v87 n4 p537-44 Dec 1995

Results are consistent with the hypothesis that organizational signals induce readers to change their text-processing strategies. (Author/SLD)
