RESEARCH ON THE MODE OF INFORMATION INTEGRATION IN TEXT -READING
文本阅读过程中信息的协调性整合

Moving window method was used to investigate the mode of information integration in text-reading. Subjects were 120 university students from South China Normal University. According to whether the elaboration on a characteristic of the protagonist was consistent with subsequent target action carried out by the protagonist, the experimental materials were divided into two categories: consistent version and qualified version, and each passage had two target sentences in different places. In experiment 1a&1b, the mode of information integration in long-memory was investigated, and in experiment 2a & 2b, that in work memory was investigated. The reading time of two target sentences were analyzed respectively with Paired Samples t Test. The results showed that in qualified condition, the background information both in long memory and work memory were integrated completely with the present information (called coordinating integration), and what's more, through this integrating, not only the coherence of text reading was maintained, but also the relative background information was constructed to be an information chunk.
