Readers' Comprehension Responses in Informative Discourse: Toward Connecting Reading and Writing in Technical Communication.
Roberts, David D.
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v19 n2 p135-48 1989
Investigates readers' response patterns to informative documents. Finds that readers make direct confirmations and positive comprehension evaluations when information is conveyed clearly; when understanding is impaired, readers seek more clearly established relationships in the text. Concludes that readers make evaluative suggestions that introduce, focus, emphasize, or reiterate their other comprehension-related responses. (KEH)
