The Effects of Reader Perspective and Cognitive Style on Remembering Important Information from Texts.

Newsome, George L., III

Journal of Reading Behavior, v18 n2 p117-33 1986

Investigates the effects of reader perspective and cognitive style on encoding, storage, and retrieval processes. Finds that structural characteristics of the text itself may affect storage and retrieval processes but not encoding processes, and that reader perspective shows no effect on a delayed recognition test.
