This volume presents in-depth investigations of the processes of meaning-making during reading at both local (discourse) and global (general knowledge) levels. It considerably extends our knowledge of how mental representations are constructed and updated during reading. The book also provides insight into the process of representation construction by using online measures and relating this process with final memory representations; provides detailed models of these processes; pays attention to the coordination of multiple representations constructed; focuses on the monitoring and updating of mental representations; and applies all this knowledge to richer and more complicated texts than are often used in laboratories.

"This is an excellent text....the chapters should prove useful not only for scholars whose primary work is in the study of discourse processes, but also for those whose primary work is in related fields of inquiry....I recommend this text without reservation for all scholars involved in literacy research, and I have no doubt that it will be widely used and widely cited for years to come."—American Journal of Psychology"In general, this book stands as a worthwhile addition to a discourse researcher's library. It offers a coherent, up-to-date view of some of the most central issues in the discourse representation literature....the chapters contained here have been assembled into a framework that is both coherent and highly informative.—Applied Cognitive Psychology
