Frameworks for Comprehending Discourse
Anderson, Richard C.; And Others
American Educational Research Journal, 14, 4, 367-81, F 77
Thirty physical education students and 30 music education students read a passage which could be given two distinct interpretations. Multiple-choice test scores, theme-revealing disambiguations and instrusions in free recall indicate that high-level schemata provide the interpretive framework for comprehending discourse. Schema theory and its educational inplications are discussed. (Author/JAC)
