Participants (n=119) were instructed to think-aloud while reading a history and science text and subsequently completed reading skill and working memory assessments. Results from correlations and mixed-effects models revealed that working memory was related to cohesion for history texts whereas reading skill was related to cohesion for both texts. These findings indicate that the interaction between genre and individual differences may be used to model coherence-building processes during reading. Keyphrases: genre effects, individual differences, reading comprehension, think-aloud methods
