However, there is no explicit link between thecognitive processes deployed during text comprehension and their place inhigher-order cognition, as in problem solving. The purpose of this paper isto propose a cognitive model in which text comprehension is made analogous to a problem solving situation and that relies on current research on well-known cognitive processes such as inference generation, memory, and simulations. The key characteristic of the model is that it explicitly includes the formulation of questions as a component that boosts representational power. Other characteristics of the model are specified and its extensions to basic and applied research in text comprehension and higher-order cognitive processes are outlined. ER -
