The Influence of Prior Knowledge on Expert Readers' Main Idea Construction Strategies.
Afflerbach, Peter P.
Reading Research Quarterly, v25 n1 p31-46 Win 1990
Examines the influence of prior knowledge on expert readers' strategies to identify and state a text's main idea. Identifies three methods of constructing the main idea: automatic construction; draft-and-revision; and topic/comment. Concludes that expert readers' construction of the main idea is often a mediated, strategic task. (RS)
