The aim of this paper is two-fold. The first aim is to review the core representational and processing aspects of influential accounts of single-document and multiple-document comprehension with a particular emphasis on how readers negotiate conflicting information during reading. This review provides the groundwork for the second aim—to expand our current account of knowledge revision during reading of single documents to multiple documents. The product of this expansion is an initial conceptualization of the Knowledge Revision Components Framework–Multiple Documents (KReC-MD). This initial conceptualization presents the theoretical foundation necessary for future empirical work and further refinement.

本文的目的是双重的。第一个目的是回顾单文档和多文档理解影响力帐户的核心表示和处理方面，特别着重于读者在阅读过程中如何协商有冲突的信息。这项审查为第二个目标提供了基础-将我们目前在阅读单个文档期间的知识修订范围扩展到多个文档。此扩展的产品是知识修订组件框架多文档（KReC-MD）的初始概念化。最初的概念化为将来的经验工作和进一步完善提供了必要的理论基础。
