It is assumed here that for each text type, proficient readers have developed a particular cognitive control system, which regulates the basic operations of text comprehension. The book focuses on the comprehension of literary texts, which involves specific cognitive strategies that enable the reader to respond flexibly to the indeterminacies of the literary reading situation.The study relies heavily on methods and theoretical conceptions from cognitive psychology and presUtrecht publications in general and comparative literature ;29.CriticismCriticism, TextualComprehensionReading comprehensionLiteraturePsychologyCognitive psychologyCriticism.Criticism, Textual.Comprehension.Reading comprehension.LiteraturePsychology.Cognitive psychology.801/.92Zwaan Rolf A610336MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789880303321Aspects of literary comprehension1116464UNINA
