Abstract

ABSTRACT The inconsistency task is used to measure metacognitive monitoring in text comprehension via online (reading time) and offline measures (number of detected inconsistencies). Few studies have examined stability in task performance and interindividual differences. We addressed these issues with adolescents (N = 341) in Grades 6/7 (Ma ge = 12.02 years) and 8/9 (M age = 14.07 years) at two measurement points and with expository texts. Performance in the offline and online measures were quite stable over one year with lower stability in the online measure. The two measures were only weakly associated. Only the offline measure was related to reading comprehension skills. Older (vs. younger) students performed better in the offline measure. The effect of grade level on the offline measure was mediated by intelligence and working memory capacity. Thus, the offline measure seems to be a better indicator of individual differences in comprehension monitoring in secondary school.

用不一致任务测量青少年理解监测:稳定性、与阅读理解技能的关联及年级间差异

摘要不一致性任务用于通过在线（阅读时间）和离线测量（检测到的不一致数量）来测量文本理解中的元认知监控。很少有研究考察任务表现的稳定性和个体间的差异。我们在两个测量点和解释性文本中，对6/7年级（年龄=12.02岁）和8/9年级（年龄=14.07岁）的青少年（N=341）进行了这些问题的研究。离线和在线测量的表现在一年内相当稳定，在线测量的稳定性较低。这两项措施的关联性很弱。只有离线测量与阅读理解技能有关。年龄较大（与年龄较小）的学生在离线测量中表现更好。年级水平对离线测量的影响是由智力和工作记忆能力介导的。因此，离线测量似乎是中学理解监测中个体差异的更好指标。

期刊介绍： Discourse Processes is a multidisciplinary journal providing a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas from diverse disciplines sharing a common interest in discourse--prose comprehension and recall, dialogue analysis, text grammar construction, computer simulation of natural language, cross-cultural comparisons of communicative competence, or related topics. The problems posed by multisentence contexts and the methods required to investigate them, although not always unique to discourse, are sufficiently distinct so as to require an organized mode of scientific interaction made possible through the journal.
