Why are some texts good and others not? Relationship between text quality and management of the writing processes (2011, background): “They also devote fewer cognitive resources to the task, because their knowledge is more organized and more easily accessible in long-term memory (Kellogg, 1987a, 2001; McCutchen, 2000).”
COGNITIVE MODELS OF WRITING: WRITING PROFICIENCY AS A COMPLEX INTEGRATED SKILL (2008, background): “In particular, skilled writers spend more time planning and revising their work than novice writers; they focus more of their effort and attention on managing the development of content and concern themselves less with its formal, surface characteristics; and they employ a variety of self-regulatory”
Discourse Markers in Composition Writings: The Case of Iranian Learners of English as a Foreign Language (2008, background): “McCutchen (2000) in his study showed that contrasting writing compositions of children at various ages with that of adults’ learning to write is a developmental process which is influenced by the writer’s available cognitive resources.”
First Language and Second Language Writing: The Role of Linguistic Knowledge, Speed of Processing, and Metacognitive Knowledge (2003, background): “…quality on the other hand (cf. Benton, Kraft, Glover, & Plake, 1984; Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1994; Chenoweth & Hayes, 2001; Fayol, 1999; Kellogg, 1999; Lea & Levy, 1999; Levy & Marek, 1999; McCutchen, 2000; McCutchen, Covill, Hoyne, & Mildes, 1994; Ransdell & Levy, 1999; Torrance & Jeffery, 1999).”
Cognitive processes in writing during pause and execution periods (2009, background): “Indeed, because all writing processes share a common working memory capacity (Kellogg, 2001; McCutchen, 2000 ), changes in processing demands of the composition task can affect functioning of the writing processes.”
The Role of Cognitive and Affective Factors in Measures of L2 Writing (2018, background): “Working memory capacity also varies among different individuals, and people with larger working memory spans may be better able to cope with tasks which demand complex cognitive abilities (McCutchen, 2000).”
The Relationship Between Component Skills and Writing Quality and Production Across Developmental Levels (2016, background): “Several of the models of writing highlight executive functions and self-regulation as higher order processes that allow strategic writing to take place through the coordination of working memory, attention, inhibition, and attention shifting (Berninger et al., 2002; Berninger & Winn, 2006; McCutchen”
Training writing skills: A cognitive developmental perspective (2008, background): “The ability to rely on longterm working memory ought to significantly help writers to manage the composition process (McCutchen, 2000).”
Component processes of early reading, spelling, and narrative writing skills in Turkish: a longitudinal study (2010, background): “, oral language skills such as grammar and vocabulary) (Berninger, 1999; McCutchen, 2000).”
Writing for Whom? Cognition, Motivation, and a Writer's Audience (2010, methodology): “…that they plan to accomplish and what information will be useful as they begin to work (Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987; Berkenkotter, 1981; Flower & Hayes 1980, 1981; Hayes, 2001; Hayes & Flower, 1980/1994; McCutchen, 1996, 2000; Piolat et al., 2001; Piolat & Roussey, 1996; Wallace et al., 1996).”
Investigating Instruction for Improving Revision of Argumentative Essays (2011, background): “…writers focus only on local changes and expert writers can focus both on local as well as global issues (Bereiter, Burtis, & Scardamalia, 1988; Glynn et al., 1982; Hayes, 1996; Hayes & Flower, 1986; McCutchen, 1996; McCutchen, 2000; Piolat, Roussey, Olive, & Amada, 2004; Wallace et al., 1996).”
Observational Learning and Its Effects on the Orchestration of Writing Processes (2004, background): “For genre knowledge, it is assumed that familiarity with a genre influences writing by providing access to an organized scheme in LTM (McCutchen, 2000).”
Using the known to chart the unknown: A review of first-language influence on the development of English-as-a-second-language spelling skill (2006, background): “Further, spelling can be cognitively demanding when children need to construct spellings online ( McCutchen, 1996, 2000 ).”
