Abstract
Three text manipulations that might influence the quality of written summaries of text were investigated. Cuing, organization, and reduction constraints were systematically manipulated in a descriptive passage presented to 120 undergraduate students. Number of important ideas in the summary, number of words, integration level of important ideas, and deviation in text-summary order of presentation of important ideas were measured. MANOVA and follow-up univariate tests showed particularly strong effects for cuing. Performance across treatment combinations on all four outcome measures was far below ceiling level.
