The ability to read and comprehend text is crucial for success in our society and its development has been a main component of instructional practice. In the past 2 decades, psychologists have devoted a good deal of attention to the question of how competent, adult readers comprehend text. Influenced by work in linguistics and artificial intelligence, the efforts of these cognitive scientists have dramatically increased our understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying reading comprehension. In this article, we provide an overview of the contributions of cognitive research on text comprehension and an agenda for future research. Our specific interest is in understanding the processes by which skilled adult readers comprehend text. We first sketch the historical progression of experimental research on text processing and then present more detailed analyses of the major contributions of cognitive science. The emphasis is on the theoretical developments that have played central roles in advancing our understanding of text comprehension. Our premise is that by identifying how progress has been achieved in understanding central aspects of text comprehension, we will be in better position to suggest how research might best proceed in domains where less progress has occurred. Finally, we identify what we consider the most pressing topics for future research and suggest the kinds of theoretical developments that appear necessary to advance research in those domains.
