What Makes a Good Answer to a Question?: Testing a Psychological Model of Question Answering in the Context of Narrative Text.

Golding, Jonathan M.; And Others

Discourse Processes, v13 n3 p305-25 Jul-Sep 1990

Tests the QUEST model of question answering in two experiments. Examines which components of QUEST could predict good answers to why-questions and how-questions in the context of short stories. Supports the validity of arc-search procedures and structural distance for both question categories. Finds only partial support for number of information sources. (SR)
