Originally published in 1974, this volume presents empirical and theoretical investigations of the role of meaning in psychological processes. A theory is proposed for the representation of the meaning of texts, employing ordered lists of propositions. The author explores the adequacy of this representation, with respect to the demands made upon such formulations by logicians and linguists. A sufficiently large number of problems are encompassed by the propositional theory to justify its use in psychological research into memory and language comprehension.

In this book, Walter Kintsch presents a theory of human text comprehension and extends his analysis to related areas. Comprehension is conceptualized as a two-stage process: first, approximate, inaccurate representations are constructed via context insensitive construction rules, which are then integrated via a spreading activation constraint satisfaction process. In Part I, the general theory is presented and an attempt is made to situate it within the current theoretical landscape in cognitive science. The second part addresses many of the topics that are typically found in a cognitive...

Beim Versuch, das menschliche Verhalten mit wissenschaftlichen Methoden zu studieren, muilten Experimentalpsychologen sich lange Zeit auf recht einfache Versuchsanordnungen beschranken. Es war nicht moglich, die ganze Komplexitat des Untersuchungsgegenstandes unter den eingeschrankten Bedingungen des psychologischen Labors zu fassen. Wir sind im mer noch weit von diesem Ziel entfernt. Wie der vorliegende Band aber bezeugt, hat es auf einigen Teilgebieten der Psychologie, vorwiegend in der Kognitionspsychologie, in dieser Hin sicht beachtliche Fortschritte gegeben. Ohne die strenge Kontrolle...
