An Analysis of the Outcomes and Implications of Intervention Research
Abstract
Over the last decade or so, there has been a major change in the kinds of processes many investigators have begun to study and in the materials used in that research. From an emphasis on learning and recall of sets of words or sentences, work is now seen investigating the comprehension and recall of larger segments of language up to and including texts. Rather than being concerned with how people come to learn and remember bits of information provided in relative isolation, current interests emphasize to a greater extent the processes involved in the comprehension of material that is inherently meaningful, such as simple stories and more complex expository text segments.
