Adjunct Postquestions in Text: A Critical Review of Methods and Processes

Purdue University

Abstract

Four overall methods have been developed for assessing prose processes produced by adjunct postquestions and collectively four processes have been found operating in such situations. The four processes are: 1) a specific backward process—mental review of questioned material; 2) a general backward process—mental review of information adjacent to and/or topically related to the material questioned; 3) specific forward process—set to focus on specific kinds of information in text segments following inserted postquestions; and 4) general forward process—increased attention to text segments following adjunct postquestions. The methods for assessing these processes are reviewed, and suggestions for future research are provided.
