Multi-step Retriever-Reader Interaction for Scalable Open-domain Question Answering (2019, background): “Our architecture draws inspiration from how students are instructed to take reading comprehension tests (Cunningham & Shablak, 1975; Bishop et al., 2006; Duggan & Payne, 2009).”
Toward an Integrated Framework of Multiple Text Use (2019, background): “…navigation, or more dynamic movement within a text, has been associated with positive comprehension outcomes in studies of single text processing (Cromley et al., 2010; Duggan & Payne, 2009; Evans & Gibbons, 2007), and, in the IF-MT, is also expected to improve multiple text integration.”
So Much to Read, So Little Time (2016, background): “Duggan and Payne (2009) showed that skimming an entire text led to better memory for important ideas than normally reading only the first half or only the second half of the text, but skimming comprehension was equivalent to when subjects read only half of every paragraph at normal speed.”
