Analyzing the Effect of Repetition on Korean EFL Readers’ Mental Representations while Reading Narrative Passages

EasyChair Preprint 3837

Abstract

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the processing changes in constructing three levels of mental representations while reading fully versus partially overlapping narrative passages by Korean EFL learners. This study employed the Resource Allocation Approach (Lorch & Myers, 1990) as a theoretical framework. Results showed that the full repetition significantly facilitated the construction of the surface form and the textbase, whereas the partial repetition promoted the development of the situation model.

Keyphrases: full repetition, partial repetition, processing changes, resource allocation, situation model
