ROMAN-GONZALEZ, Viviana. Reader Goals and Elaborative Inferences: A Journey through Three Research Lines. Folios [online]. 2023, n.58, pp.75-94.  Epub 27-Jan-2024. ISSN 0123-4870.  https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.58-14065.

Elaborative inferences have been catalogued as fundamental for the comprehension of written texts, since they constitute a core process in the construction of a situation model of what has been read. On the other hand, reading goals emphasize the active role of the reader, as well as the control he or she exercises during the process. The aim of this reflective article is to describe and critically analyze the way in which the relationship between elaborative inferences and reader goals has been studied in recent years from three lines of research: strategic comprehension, standards of coherence and relevance. Based on empirical evidence, the core concepts of each line are presented as a basis for establishing commonalities and differences. Then, from a critical point of view, strengths and limitations are presented. Finally, the projections of the proposals are discussed, particularly in the educational context.

Palavras-chave : text comprehension; strategic comprehension; standards of coherence; relevance.
