Abstract

Abstract The goal of this chapter is to build on previous models of discourse comprehension that break reading into two components: activation and integration. We describe a new model of comprehension, the RI-Val model, which separates out the mechanisms involved in activation and integration, and adds an additional validation stage to processing. The assumptions of this model have implications for the types of information reactivated from memory, how this information can mediate subsequent processing, and how the timing of different influences is affected. We provide evidence from our own work to support the model and discuss broad implications of the model for future research and theory in discourse comprehension.
