We sought to extend these findings to adult readers. We compared responses generated by college students during think-aloud tasks. Our adult readers showed similar differences between text genre as found by previous studies with children. With expository texts, readers produced more associations, metacognitions, and text connections. With narratives, readers produced more valid elaborations and predictions.
