Examining the Effects of Visual and Verbal Thoughts on Reading Outcomes

Abstract

Little research has examined the phenomenological experiences of reading. We investigated whether perspective-taking influenced readers’ experiences of visual and verbal thoughts and how they related to comprehension and transportation. Participants (n=147) received perspective-taking or control instructions, then read a narrative while being periodically asked to rate their thought characteristics. There were no main effects of condition. Visual imagery was positively associated with comprehension and transportation; conversely, verbal-thinking was negatively associated with comprehension but not transportation.

Keyphrases: perspective taking, reading comprehension, Transportation, verbal-thinking, visual imagery
