It is the incremental step propelling our comprehension of events.
Language comprehension is incremental, involving the integration of information from different words together with the need to resolve conflicting cues when unexpected information occurs.
Comprehension thus proceeds via incremental updating of a mental representation based on perceptual (Berliner & Cohen, 2011; Levin & Simons, 2000) and/or semantic analysis of each panel in the sequence (Bateman & Wildfeuer, 2014; Magliano & Zacks, 2011; McCloud, 1993).
Hyphens also connect some prefixes and suffixes to words, but only when the hyphen is necessary to aid comprehension (re-create, anti-incremental) or to attach the prefix or suffix to a proper noun (pro-America).
Traxler, M., Bybee, M. & Pickering, M. Influence of connectives on language comprehension: eye-tracking evidence for incremental interpretation.
The purpose of this research was to investigate the incremental and concurrent validity of formative assessment measures of reading comprehension.
We used event-related brain potentials to determine whether comprehension of "visual narrative conjunctions" invokes not only incremental mental updating as traditionally assumed, but also, as we propose, "grammatical" combinatoric processing.
Prosody has an immediate rather than delayed effect on a range of syntactic parsing decisions, suggesting that prosody can determine the incremental construction of a syntactic representation on the fly during sentence comprehension.
To experimentally test whether using pictographs (image matrices), incremental risk formats, and varied risk denominators would influence perceptions and comprehension of side effect risks in an online decision aid about prophylactic use of tamoxifen to prevent primary breast cancers.
On one hand, Area C may focus, for instance, primarily on the degree to which students can execute careful reading operations as defined in Khalifa and Weir's (2009) cognitive processing model of reading comprehension for both local and global text comprehension featured by "slow, careful, linear, incremental reading for comprehension" (p. 46).
The curriculum uses an incremental approach, building from letters and syllables to words and connected texts, emphasizing phonological decoding skills as a foundation for spelling and comprehension.
