文本阅读信息加工过程研究一直是国内外心理学界高度重视和关注的领域,形成了建构主义理论、最低限度假设理论和记忆基础文本加工理论等派别百家争鸣的局面。这些理论争议的焦点在于自然阅读是主动的、积极的、目标策略驱动的过程,还是被动的、消极的、自动的过程。在全面总结国内外心理学界有关文本阅读的研究成果的基础上,文本阅读双加工理论提出并对文本阅读的主要争议进行了整合。该理论的核心观点是文本的自然阅读过程是连贯阅读与焦点阅读的双加工过程。文本阅读中读者所阅读的材料特点不同,引发的阅读信息加工活动也不同,而不同性质的阅读过程,又会引发不同的推理整合,从而会建构不同类型的文本表征。文本阅读双加工理论已经形成了比较完整的理论框架,并获得了很多实验证据的支持。当然,文本阅读双加工理论作为一个新的理论,其中的有些观点还需要进一步检验。在未来的文本阅读研究领域,有很多问题还需要研究者进一步关注。
Text comprehension is one of the most complex and unique cognitive activities of human beings and is also an important way for us to get information. Therefore, been a hot topic in the field of psychology. information processing in text comprehension has long To attempt to maintain a both locally and globally coherent text representation, readers need to integrate the information currently being read in text comprehension not only with the contents in their working memory, but also with the relevant information from earlier portions of the text in their long-term memory (background information). Current research focuses on the extent to which readers immediately activate background information and how readers integrate this with incoming information. In other words, the aim of current research is to investigate whether the information processing is initiative, positive and strategic or passive, negative and automatic. Regarding this question, there are three main theoretical perspectives with certain experimental evidences, including the constructivism theory, the minimalist hypothesis and the memory-based text processing view. On the basis of summing up the results of research on text comprehension, the bi-processing theory of text comprehension has been proposed to integrate the current controversy. This theory holds that information processing in text comprehension includes coherence-based processing and focus-based processing. Readers should use different methods of information processing according to the characteristics of the materials in text comprehension. The theory also elaborates on text representation and inference in text-reading and forms a complete theoretical frame. A series of experiments has been carried out based on this frame and abundant evidences have been obtained, which greatly enriched the bi-processing theory of text comprehension. In addition, some opinions on the bi-processing theory of text comprehension should be further verified and some questions should receive more attention
