Problem-Solving Schemata for Text Types: A Comparison of Narrative and Expository Text Structures.
Mulcahy, Patricia I.; Samuels, S. Jay
Reading Psychology, v8 n4 p247-56 1987
Argues that comprehension is a problem-solving activity and that different problem-solving schemata exist for different types of texts, both narrative and expository. Suggests that good comprehension occurs when there is a match between the author's schemata and that of the reader, creating a dialogue between the writer and the reader. (JK)
