Cognitive Processes in Textbook Chapter Search Tasks.
Dreher, Mariam Jean; Guthrie, John T.
Reading Research Quarterly, v25 n4 p323-39 Fall 1990
Examines the task of locating information in textbook chapters (text search). Finds differences between more efficient and less efficient searchers in how they distribute their time across various aspects of the task. Discovers that as task complexity increases, efficient searchers allocate relatively more search time to initial stages of text search. (KEH)
