{"product_id":"models-of-understanding-text","title":"Models of Understanding Text","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is text understanding?\u003cbr\u003e It is the dynamic process of constructing coherent representations and inferences at multiple levels of text and context, within the bottleneck of a limited-capacity working memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The field of text and discourse has advanced to the point where researchers have developed sophisticated models of comprehension, and identified the particular assumptions that underlie comprehension mechanisms in precise analytical or mathematical detail. The models offer \u003ci\u003ea priori\u003c\/i\u003e predictions about thought and behavior, not merely \u003ci\u003ead hoc\u003c\/i\u003e descriptions of data. Indeed, the field has evolved to a mature science. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The contributors to this volume collectively cover the major models of comprehension in the field of text and discourse. Other books are either narrow -- covering only a single theoretical framework -- or do not focus on systematic modeling efforts. In addition, this book focuses on deep levels of understanding rather than language codes, syntax, and other shallower levels of text analysis. As such, it provides readers with up-to-date information on current psychological models specified in quantitative or analytical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242195243352,"sku":"9780805818482","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805818482.jpg?v=1769841042","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/models-of-understanding-text","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
