Influence of Reading Proficiency on Text Representation in L1 and L2
… these are the surface level, textbase level, and situation model level. The current project aimed to explore the effects of reading proficiency on level of text representation in L1 and L2 reading from a developmental view. Study 1 compared text representation in L1 among Chinese school children …

Age Differences in Revision of Causal Belief
… the updating process. A text-based level and situation model level measured updating. The text-based level is only information from the text but is not necessarily verbatim. The situation model level is the overall meaning of the text, including inferences and assumptions. Results show that …

How reader and task characteristics influence young readers’ comprehension monitoring
… monitoring difficulties. In the context of the situation model, these findings suggest that monitoring difficulties may arise from failures in constructing a richly elaborated situation model, rather than failures in updating the situation model.

Mathematical comprehension facilitated by situation models: Learning opportunities for inverse relations in elementary school
… elementary mathematics teachers’ classrooms. A situation model perspective of comprehension was used for analysis. The aim of this study was thus to determine how instructional tasks, representations, and deep questions are used for connection-making, which is the foundation of a situation model …

Adult Age Differences in Processing Narrative Text: Managing Character Representations
Understanding a narrative situation depends on keeping track of multiple characters that enter and exit dynamically as the plot unfolds. Because there has been no systematic investigation of age differences in the ability to manage multiple characters during narrative comprehension, this project …

The influence of self-regulated learning and prior knowledge on knowledge acquisition in computer-based learning environments
… examined how learners construct textbase and situation model knowledge in hypertext computer-based learning environments (CBLEs) and documented the influence of specific self-regulated learning (SRL) tactics, prior knowledge, and characteristics of the learner on posttest knowledge scores from …

Integrating driving behavior modeling
A framework for integrated driving behavior modeling, based on the concepts of short-term goal and short-term plan is proposed. Drivers are assumed to conceive and perform short-term plans in order to accomplish short-term goals. This behavioral framework captures drivers' planning capabilities and …
