Using a sample of 116 Norwegian undergraduate readers in this experimental study, we investigated whether reading informational text on a tablet versus on paper would lead to differences with respect to strategic text processing and text comprehension. Strategic text processing was measured by means of verbal protocol analysis, and text comprehension was measured by means of postreading written products. Results were inconsistent with the shallowing hypothesis proposing that there are comprehension advantages for printed texts because digital texts are typically processed in a more shallow, superficial way. That is, we found no differences across the reading mediums with respect to strategic text processing or text comprehension. These results may suggest that there are boundaries to the shallowing hypothesis that are related to tasks, individual differences, and reading contexts. Such potential boundaries are discussed in light of the current findings, and suggestions for future research to clarify those boundaries are offered.

跨媒体的战略性文本处理：口头协议研究

在这项实验研究中使用 116 名挪威本科读者的样本，我们调查了在平板电脑上阅读信息文本与在纸上阅读信息文本是否会导致战略文本处理和文本理解方面的差异。战略性文本处理通过口头协议分析来衡量，文本理解通过阅读后的书面产品来衡量。结果与提出印刷文本具有理解优势的浅化假设不一致，因为数字文本通常以更肤浅、更肤浅的方式处理。也就是说，我们发现阅读媒体在战略性文本处理或文本理解方面没有差异。这些结果可能表明与任务相关的浅化假设存在边界，个体差异和阅读环境。根据目前的发现讨论了这些潜在的界限，并提出了未来研究以澄清这些界限的建议。
