Text comprehension theories propose that readers try to achieve a coherent representation of the situation depicted in a text. When reading multiple texts on the same topic, however, achieving a coherent representation of a situation poses additional challenges. Different sources may offer inconsistent descriptions or interpretations of the situation, or even contradict one another. Thus, additional assumptions are needed to explain how readers build a coherent representation of a situation when reading multiple individual texts on the same subject. This paper reviews research contributions from the psychology of text comprehension on how readers integrate inconsistent information from multiple sources. We concentrate on two key processes: The construction of an interconnected representation of sources and text contents, and the evaluation of the acquired information. We begin by briefly discussing the standard approach of single‐text comprehension theories to representational coherence. Then, we examine the Documents Model Framework and other, associated proposals that claim that readers can achieve coherence of divergent text contents by constructing a representation of the texts which integrates information about the sources of the contents. We also consider the role of source evaluation as a reader strategy for constructing a single, coherent solution. Finally, we discuss theoretical and practical implications and we make suggestions for further readings.

从多种文本构建心理模型:读者如何从不一致的来源中构建连贯性

文本理解理论建议读者尝试实现文本中所描述情况的连贯表示。但是,当阅读同一主题的多篇文章时,要实现情境的连贯表达会带来额外的挑战。不同的资料来源可能对情况提供不一致的描述或解释,甚至彼此矛盾。因此,需要额外的假设来解释读者在阅读同一主题的多个单独文本时如何构建情况的连贯表示。本文回顾了文本理解心理学对读者如何整合来自多个来源的不一致信息的研究贡献。我们专注于两个关键过程:构建源和文本内容的互连表示,以及对获取的信息的评估。我们首先简要讨论单文本理解理论到表示一致性的标准方法。然后,我们研究了文档模型框架和其他相关建议,这些建议声称读者可以通过构造整合了有关内容来源信息的文本表示形式来实现文本内容的一致性。我们还将源评估作为构建单个一致解决方案的阅读器策略的作用。最后,我们讨论了理论和实践意义,并提出了进一步阅读的建议。相关建议,声称读​​者可以通过构建整合了有关内容来源信息的文本表示形式来实现文本内容的连贯性。我们还将源评估作为构建单个一致解决方案的阅读器策略的作用。最后,我们讨论了理论和实践意义,并提出了进一步阅读的建议。相关建议,声称读​​者可以通过构建整合了有关内容来源信息的文本表示形式来实现文本内容的连贯性。我们还考虑将源评估作为构建单个一致解决方案的阅读器策略的作用。最后,我们讨论了理论和实践意义,并提出了进一步阅读的建议。
