The Function of Frame in the Comprehension of Scientific Text.

Rossi, Jean Pierre

Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n4 p727-32 Dec 1990

One hundred French children in grade five participated in an experiment to determine how the problem frame facilitates comprehension of a problem solution text. Results demonstrate the positive role of frames in macrostructure construction and support the model of T. A. van Dijk and W. Kintsch (1983). (SLD)
